Abstract
In the course of studies on influenza virus ecology, Influenzavirus A was isolated from a cloacal smear from a wild duck (A. platyrhynchos) caught in west Slovakia, Czechoslovakia. The strain was identified as A(Hav7Nav1). The results of virus isolation experiments from other species of aquatic and other small birds were negative.
