Summary

A total of 18 hemagglutinating agents were isolated from 14 of 278 migrating feral ducks in Hokkaido during the surveillance studies conducted from 1978 to 1981. Seven of the 18 isolates belonged to paramyxovirus and the rest to influenza A virus. Five isolates of paramyxovirus reacted specifically with antiserum to duck/HK/199/77 and 7 isolates of influenza A virus possessed the antigenic configuration of H10N3. Three of the isolates possessed an hemagglutinin that has no antigenic relation to any of the 26 known strains of avain, swine, equine and human influenza A viruses.
