<b>Monitoring influenza A virus in wild migratory birds and waterfowl in Libya using RT-qPCR</b>

The detection of AIV in a migratory bird in Libya highlights the importance of continued surveillance in wild avian populations, especially in ecologically sensitive areas along migratory pathways. Early detection through molecular diagnostics is essential for informing public health strategies and mitigating the transmission risk to domestic poultry populations. Future efforts should prioritize the continued monitoring of AIV, with particular emphasis on the detection of H7 and H9 subtypes, using a larger sample size to enhance surveillance efforts.
