Abstract in Portuguese
Os vírus da influenza A (IA) provocam epidemias e pandemias em humanos. As aves selvagens são os reservatórios naturais desses vírus, dentre essas, as migratórias possuem um importante papel como transmissores da doença. A região subantártica abriga populações de aves marinhas, as quais reproduzem-se no verão austral formando colônias com milhares de aves, o que potencializa a importância do estudo do vírus IA em aves marinhas neste ambiente. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram analisar a presença do vírus IA em swabs orotraqueal e cloacal, e de anticorpos anti-IA em soro de aves marinhas da região subantártica, caracterizar molecularmente as amostras positivas, e conhecer mais a ecologia deste vírus. Foram coletadas amostras biológicas de pinguim-papua, pinguim-de-barbicha, pinguim-de-adelie, skua-subantártica, pomba-do-cabo, e petrel-gigante-do-sul, entre 2010-13, nas ilhas Elefante e Rei George. Das 615 amostras de swab, 13 foram positivas por One Step Real Time RT-PCR, e uma foi caracterizada como H6N8. Das 673 amostras de soro, 108 foram positivas por Ensaio Imonoenzimático competitivo (cELISA). O estudo contribuiu para o conhecimento do vírus IA na região e foram feitas recomendações para a prevenção a introdução de patógenos na Antártica.

Abstract in English
Influenza A (IA) viruses cause epidemics and pandemics in humans. Wild birds are the natural reservoir of these viruses, among these, migratory ones have an important role as transmitters of disease. The subantarctic region is home to seabird populations, which breed in the austral summer forming colonies with thousands of birds, which enhances the importance of the study of AI viruses in waterfowl in this environment. The objectives of this study were to analyze the presence of IA virus in tracheal and cloacal swabs, and anti-IA antibodies in serum of seabirds from subantarctic region, molecular characterization of positive samples, and learn more about this virus ecology. Biological samples were collected of gentoo penguin, chinstrap penguin, adelie penguin, brown skua, cape petrel, and southern giant petrel, from Elephant and King George islands, between 2010-13.Of the 615 swab samples, 13 were positive by Real Time One Step RT-PCR, and one was characterized as H6N8. Of the 673 serum samples, 108 were positive by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). The study contributed to AI virus knowledge in the region and recommendations for preventing the introduction of pathogens in Antarctica were made.
