1.The conceptual framework considering Anseriformes and Charadriiformes as
the main maintenance hosts for influenza A viruses (IAV) in wild birds has
shaped IAV research and surveillance over the last decades. 2.We challenge
this framework by reviewing the worldwide surveillance data on
non-Anseriformes and non-Charadriiformes (NANC) species, generally
considered as playing little role in IAV maintenance, available in
literature and online data bases (close to 200 sources). 3.Globally, we
found an IAV infection rate of 1.51% (95% CI, 1.44%–1.59%) for c.101 000
birds tested from NANC species. If Anseriformes have, as expected, a
higher infection rate than any other bird orders, eight bird orders have
an infection rate higher or close to the Charadriiformes infection rate,
challenging the status of Charadriiformes. 4.We interpret the attention
paid in favour of Charadriiformes by an extrapolation bias from data
collected in hotspots of IAV infection in Charadriiformes (e.g. Delaware
Bay, USA). 5.The growing data on IAV in wild birds worldwide, summarised
here, supports two non-exclusive hypotheses: (i) the quality of the
diagnostic tools and techniques used explain the patterns observed; (ii)
IAV maintenance is determined by complex multi-host systems composed of
multiple bird species, dependent on the ecosystem and its bird diversity
and composition. 6.Synthesis and applications. Our results have two main
implications. First, new research and surveillance should be designed in
order to understand influenza A viruses ecology in wild birds across the
world, along with appropriate diagnostic tools and new hypotheses and
dedicated protocols. This should be done in line with our new conceptual
framework that conveys less a priori than its predecessor. Secondly, our
results call for more bridging between biological and epidemiological
sciences in order to tackle disease ecology in multi-host systems.
