Cloacal swabs and feces samples (<italic>n</italic> = 6595) were collected from 62 bird species in Argentina from 2006 to 2016 and screened for influenza A virus. Full genome sequencing of 15 influenza isolates from 6 waterfowl species revealed subtypes combinations that were previously described in South America (H1N1, H4N2, H4N6 (<italic>n</italic> = 3), H5N3, H6N2 (<italic>n</italic> = 4), and H10N7 (<italic>n</italic> = 2)), and new ones not previously identified in the region (H4N8, H7N7 and H7N9). Notably, the internal gene segments of all 15 Argentine isolates belonged to the South American lineage, showing a divergent evolution of these viruses in the Southern Hemisphere. Time-scaled phylogenies indicated that South American gene segments diverged between ~ 30 and ~ 140 years ago from the most closely related influenza lineages, which include the avian North American (PB1, HA, NA, MP, and NS-B) and Eurasian lineage (PB2), and the equine H3N8 lineage (PA, NP, and NS-A). Phylogenetic analyses of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase gene segments of the H4, H6, and N8 subtypes revealed recent introductions and reassortment between viruses from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in the Americas. Remarkably and despite evidence of recent hemagglutinin and neuraminidase subtype introductions, the phylogenetic composition of internal gene constellation of these influenza A viruses has remained unchanged. Considering the extended time and the number of sampled species of the current study, and the paucity of previously available data, our results contribute to a better understanding of the ecology and evolution of influenza virus in South America.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Fouchier, Ram" uniqKey="Fouchier R">RAM

Cloacal swabs and feces samples (<italic>n</italic> = 6595) were collected from 62 bird species in Argentina from 2006 to 2016 and screened for influenza A virus. Full genome sequencing of 15 influenza isolates from 6 waterfowl species revealed subtypes combinations that were previously described in South America (H1N1, H4N2, H4N6 (<italic>n</italic> = 3), H5N3, H6N2 (<italic>n</italic> = 4), and H10N7 (<italic>n</italic> = 2)), and new ones not previously identified in the region (H4N8, H7N7 and H7N9). Notably, the internal gene segments of all 15 Argentine isolates belonged to the South American lineage, showing a divergent evolution of these viruses in the Southern Hemisphere. Time-scaled phylogenies indicated that South American gene segments diverged between ~ 30 and ~ 140 years ago from the most closely related influenza lineages, which include the avian North American (PB1, HA, NA, MP, and NS-B) and Eurasian lineage (PB2), and the equine H3N8 lineage (PA, NP, and NS-A). Phylogenetic analyses of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase gene segments of the H4, H6, and N8 subtypes revealed recent introductions and reassortment between viruses from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in the Americas. Remarkably and despite evidence of recent hemagglutinin and neuraminidase subtype introductions, the phylogenetic composition of internal gene constellation of these influenza A viruses has remained unchanged. Considering the extended time and the number of sampled species of the current study, and the paucity of previously available data, our results contribute to a better understanding of the ecology and evolution of influenza virus in South America.</p></abstract><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution-id institution-id-type="FundRef">https://doi.org/10.13039/100000060</institution-id><institution>U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | NIH | National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>HHSN266200700010C</award-id><award-id>HHSN272201400008C</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Perez</surname><given-names>Daniel R.</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution-id institution-id-type="FundRef">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100002923</institution-id><institution>Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (National Scientific and Technical Research Council)</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>PICT 2008 – 0922</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Perez</surname><given-names>Daniel R.</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2018</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1" sec-type="introduction"><title>Introduction</title><p id="Par2">Influenza A Viruses (IAVs) belong to the family <italic>Orthomyxoviridae</italic>. The genome of IAVs is composed of 8 segments of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA. Wild aquatic birds of the order Anseriformes and Charadriiformes are considered the natural hosts of IAVs. Based on the antigenic characteristics of their surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), IAVs are divided into subtypes. To date, 16 HA subtypes (H1 to H16) and 9 NA subtypes (N1 to N9) have been recognized in wild birds. Due to the segmented nature of their genomes, IAVs frequently exchange gene segments, which has led to the identification of many subtype combinations in waterfowl species<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref></sup>. Regardless of the subtype, IAV infections in wild aquatic birds occur mostly in the intestinal tract in an apparently asymptomatic fashion. The virus is excreted in large amounts in the feces, which allows for an efficient fecal-oral route mode of transmission among birds.</p><p id="Par3">Many of the efforts to understand the ecology of IAVs in their natural reservoir have been driven by a desire to track the origin of pandemic strains; prompted in particular by realization that the pandemic IAV viruses of the 1957 Asian flu (H2N2) and of the 1968 Hong Kong flu (H3N2) carried gene segments (HA, NA, and PB1; and HA and PB1, respectively) similar to IAV strains from ducks<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref></sup>. Renewed interest in understanding the ecology of IAVs in natural hosts resulted from the emergence of the HPAIVs of the H5 subtype in China with the ability to cause exacerbated and often lethal respiratory disease in humans. The HA gene segment of these viruses has continued to evolve and diversify into genetically distinct clades and sub-clades and have successfully spread across 4 different continents<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref></sup>. Historically, long-term active IAV surveillance in wild birds has been circumscribed to the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and China. In other parts of the world, surveillance efforts have been mostly passive, in response to disease outbreaks<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref></sup>. As a result, only 0.1% of all available sequences from IAV isolated from wild birds originate from South America<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref></sup>. The first evidence of IAV in birds in South America was associated to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) of the H7 subtype in commercial chickens and turkeys in Chile in 2002<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref></sup>.</p><p id="Par4">The evolution of IAVs in the natural reservoir is largely determined by the geographical separation and migratory patterns of the avian hosts. Thus, IAVs are broadly separated into lineages that correspond to vast geographic regions. IAVs of North American (NAm), Eurasian (EAs), and Australian lineages are well defined due to the significant amount of sequence information of IAV isolates available from those regions<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref></sup>. More recently, additional lineages were proposed for South America<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref></sup> and Antarctica<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref></sup> based on phylogenetic analyses of a limited number of IAV isolates obtained from wild birds.</p><p id="Par5">Our group has been conducting active IAV surveillance in wild birds in Guatemala (Central America) and in Argentina (South America) as part of efforts to establish early warning systems for the potential introduction of IAVs from Asia into the Americas and/or from wild birds into commercial poultry. In the present study, we performed full genomic characterization and phylogenetic analyses of 15 low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs) isolated from 6 different avian species in Argentina between 2006 and 2016. We inferred time-scaled phylogenies using a previously described host specific local clock model<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup> using currently available sequences of IAVs from South America. Our studies provide further support for the existence of a South American (SAm) IAV lineage circulating in wild birds in Argentina. Interestingly, while most HA and NA subtypes obtained from the IAVs from Argentina follow unique evolutionary pathways within the SAm lineage, the HA and NA gene segments of three subtypes, H4, H6, and N8, appear to be recent introductions from IAVs of the NAm lineage. These analyses provide novel insights into the evolutionary patterns of these viruses. Taken together, our study highlights the importance of continuous surveillance of IAVs in South America as an integral part of worldwide efforts to better understand the ecology of these viruses and to better monitor the circulation of strains with zoonotic and/or pandemic concern.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="results"><title>Results</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>IAVs isolated from wild birds in Argentina with subtype combinations and from hosts not previously described in the region</title><p id="Par6">In total, 6525 cloacal swabs and 70 fecal samples representing 62 different bird species were collected and tested for the presence of IAV (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM2" ref-type="media">1</xref>).

Prototypic nucleotide IAV sequences from other hosts (bats, swine, and human—except 2009 pandemic H1N1) were also included. The internal gene segments of the new 15 IAVs analyzed clustered together and are highly similar to other previously reported IAVs of avian origin from South America (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM8" ref-type="media">1</xref>–<xref rid="MOESM13" ref-type="media">6</xref>). We used molecular clock analyses that incorporate host-specific evolutionary rates of IAV gene segments<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup> to estimate the time of the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) for the internal gene segments of the IAV isolates from Argentina (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM5" ref-type="media">4</xref>), which indicated that these viruses diverged from other main IAV lineages between ~ 30 and ~ 140 years ago. A closer examination of each tree shows different topologies for each gene segment that indicate that the modern SAm lineage arose from multiple reassortment events, the exact timing of which remain unclear. The PB2 segment of the IAV strains from Argentina was introduced from an EAs-like IAV ancestor (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and SFig. <xref rid="MOESM8" ref-type="media">1</xref>) in the late 1880’s (tMRCA<sub>PB2</sub> ~ 1887), in agreement with the previous analyses<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup>. For this segment, the SAm avian clade diverged from the EAs lineage sometime between 1885 (tMRCA between EAs and SAm clades) and 1990 (tMRCA for SAm clade), implying a ~ 100-year gap of unknown diversity for the ancestors of the contemporary SAm clade. In contrast, the PB1 segment (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and SFig. <xref rid="MOESM9" ref-type="media">2</xref>) diverged more recently from a NAm lineage-like ancestor (tMRCA<sub>PB1</sub> ~ 1988).

We denoted all these clades as SAm lineage. Following is a description of the main findings for each HA subtype. The H1 and H5 isolates from Argentina grouped within the NAm lineage (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref> and SFigs. <xref rid="MOESM14" ref-type="media">7</xref> and <xref rid="MOESM15" ref-type="media">8</xref>).

The other H1 subtype IAVs identified in Peru (Charadriiformes and Gruiformes) belongs to the NAm lineage (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref> and SFig. 7). The H5 subtype SAm lineage contains only two sequences from IAVs from resident duck species (silver teal and yellow-billed pintail) in Argentina and Chile. There were other two highly similar H5 sequences in the database (from Chile), but they were excluded from the analysis because they were only partial fragments of the H5. In addition, there are other H5 subtype IAVs isolated from different wild duck spp. in South America (Chile and Colombia), but they cluster in a different position within the NAm lineage and are less divergent compared to the Argentinean isolate (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref> and SFig. <xref rid="MOESM15" ref-type="media">8</xref>). The H7 subtype from IAVs from the SAm lineage was basal to the main NAm lineage, showing two clades (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM16" ref-type="media">9</xref>). One clade contains the two H7 IAVs from Argentina and other IAVs from Chile (all IAV isolates from resident wild duck spp.). The second clade contains the HPAIV poultry isolates from the outbreak in Chile in 2002 and their closest wild birds LPAIV ancestor from Bolivia (cinnamon teal) (refs. <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref></sup>). Although all H7 from Argentina are LPAIV, they share a common ancestor with H7 HPAIVs from 2002.

For this subtype, the two H10N7 IAV isolates from Argentina grouped together and formed a unique branch that is clearly separated from H10 gene segments from viruses from other geographic locations, and remarkably distant from the H10N7 viruses from Peru (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM17" ref-type="media">10</xref>, red branches). As this was the first isolation of a SAm H10 subtype, we inferred an MCC tree to estimate the time of divergence of these viruses. Both H10 Argentinean viruses, isolated from silver teal, have a common ancestor with H10 viruses from NAm lineage, with an estimated tMRCA between 1933 and 1949 (95% HPD) (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM5" ref-type="media">4</xref>).</p><p id="Par14">Phylogenetic analysis of H4 HA gene segment showed that the IAVs from Argentina (four isolates from 2011 and one from 2016) grouped within the NAm lineage and were closely related to other H4 viruses identified in Anseriformes in Chile in 2013 and 2015, suggesting dissemination of NAm H4 subtype IAVs in the region (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM18" ref-type="media">11</xref>). As this seemed to be a recent introduction to South America we estimated the time of introduction for this clade. Time-scaled phylogenetic analysis estimated that the introduction of these NAm H4 viruses in South America occurred between 2007–2009 (95% HPD) (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM5" ref-type="media">4</xref>). Similarly, the MCC tree of H6 HA gene showed at least two separate introductions of H6 viruses in Argentina (identified as H6-1 and H6-2 in Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and SFig. <xref rid="MOESM19" ref-type="media">12</xref>). The first introduction (H6-1) includes two new H6 isolates (272/H6N2 and 1174A/H6N2) that clustered together with four H6 IAVs from Argentina published previously<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup>. In this case, we estimated that the SAm clade (as well as the most closely related NAm clade) has diverged from the EAs lineage sometime between 1978 and 1984 (95% HPD, Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM5" ref-type="media">4</xref>). The second most recent introduction (H6-2) includes other two new H6 isolates (49/H6N2 and 52/H6N2) that grouped together with one of our previous H6 subtype IAVs (1977/H6N2) and three IAVs from Brazil isolated in 2012 (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM19" ref-type="media">12</xref>). On this occasion, the SAm clade seems to have diverged from the NAm lineage sometime between 2002 and 2004 (95% HPD, Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM5" ref-type="media">4</xref>). The new Argentinean H6 IAVs were obtained from four wild duck spp. (comb duck, rosy-billed pochard, silver teal, and yellow-billed pintail), while Brazilian H6 IAVs were obtained from a small shorebird (white-rumped sandpiper, a Charadriiforme).</p><p id="Par15">For the NA gene segments, phylogenetic analysis of the N1, N2, N3, N6, and N9 gene segments grouped them into the unique SAm clades as previously observed<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref></sup> (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref> and SFigs. <xref rid="MOESM20" ref-type="media">13</xref>–<xref rid="MOESM24" ref-type="media">17</xref>). The N1 subtype SAm lineage contains four similar sequences, three are paired with the H1 HA subtype from IAVs isolated in Argentina and Chile (from Tinaniformes and Anseriformes respectively), and one is paired with the H6 HA subtype from IAVs isolated from white-rumped sandpiper in Brazil (SFig. 13). These four viruses form a sister group with some IAVs isolated from shorebirds in Delaware Bay and New Jersey in a cluster that is basal to the NAm and EAs lineages. The N1 of other IAVs identified from Chardriiformes in Brazil and Peru belong to the NAm lineage. The N2 phylogenetic tree shows IAVs from SAm lineages share ancestry with avian IAVs from diverse origins that are basal to the main NAm and EAs lineages. The SAm viruses grouped in two clades (SFig. 14), one clade contains IAVs isolated exclusively from Anseriformes in Argentina and Chile between 2007 and 2014 (<italic>n</italic> = 9, four new sequences from this report). The second clade contains one N2 subtype from an IAV isolated in Argentina in 2016 (this report) and N2 sequences from IAVs from Chile (2015). The other N2 IAVs identified in Chile, Colombia, and Peru belong to the NAm lineage. The N3 subtype from IAVs from the SAm lineage also shows two clades (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM22" ref-type="media">15</xref>). One clade contains only two H5N3 IAVs isolated from wild ducks, one from Argentina (this report) and the other from Chile. There is a 6-year gap between these IAVs (2009 and 2015) and they were isolated from different species—silver teal and yellow-billed pintail, respectively. The second clade contains only H7N3 HPAIV isolate from poultry in Chile in 2002 (ref. <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref></sup>) (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM22" ref-type="media">15</xref>). These two clades shared ancestry with non-contemporary NAm viruses, that are basal to NAm lineage. The N6 subtype SAm lineage, basal to the NAm lineage, contains the three newly identified N6 IAVs from Argentina and other sequences from Chile, all from resident wild bird spp. (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM23" ref-type="media">16</xref>). The only other N6 IAV identified in South America, in Peru, belongs to the NAm lineage and was isolated from a gull. Interestingly, our last N2 and N6 IAV isolates from 2016 (1174A/H6N2 and 1227/H4N6 respectively) are more distant from previous isolates from Argentina and more closely related to recent N2 and N6 segments from IAVs isolated in Chile (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM21" ref-type="media">14</xref> and <xref rid="MOESM23" ref-type="media">16</xref> respectively). With respect to the N9 gene segments, those obtained from IAVs in Argentina (<italic>n</italic> = 2) were basal to the main EAs and NAm lineages, whereas N9 subtype sequences from other IAV isolates from Brazil, Chile and Peru clearly belong to the NAm lineage (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM24" ref-type="media">17</xref>).</p><p id="Par16">The N7 subtype phylogeny shows that sequences of those IAVs isolated in Argentina, all from silver teals, are unique and share no relationship with those obtained from wild bird isolates in Chile<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref></sup> or Peru<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref></sup> (SFig. <xref rid="MOESM25" ref-type="media">18</xref>, red branches). We estimated the time of divergence of these distinct viruses. The N7 subtype sequences from IAVs from Argentina have a NAm ancestor with a tMRCA between 1932–1945 (95% HPD), similar to the H10 HA subtype sequences (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM5" ref-type="media">4</xref>).</p><p id="Par17">Finally, three N8 IAVs from Argentina clustered together as a distinct clade within the NAm lineage.

It must be noted that our surveillance efforts in Argentina have covered limited areas of the country and a limited subset of avian species. Together with the scarce data available from IAVs in South America, it is difficult to confirm if the basal lineages of SAm viruses are ancestral to other main IAV lineages (for example NAm lineage) or whether they are a consequence of earlier virus introductions (from any lineage) that then diverged separately in this region. Expansion into broader geographic areas, animal species, and number of samples are indispensable as a first step to better understand the ecology and evolution of IAVs in wild birds in Argentina. Sequence analysis of the Argentinean IAVs are consistent with typical LPAIVs; however, there are remarkably divergent variants (e.g. H5, H7, H10) that warrant further experimental characterization in the laboratory to deepen our knowledge in the pathogenicity and host-range of these particular SAm IAVs.</p><p id="Par26">In this study, we traced the origin of the Argentinean H4, H6, and N8 subtypes to North America, and detected at least four independent introduction events within the past 40 years. Particularly, the results of the H6 analyses further support the presence of two independent H6 subtype populations circulating in Argentina<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref></sup>. In addition, these two Argentinean H6 gene clusters are different from the H6 subtype population that circulates in Charadriiforms and Pelecaniformes in Peru, indicating distinct ways of dissemination of NAm H6 subtype IAVs along the region. The IAV gene influx from North America into South America could be driven by the migration of different bird species that arrive to the Southern Hemisphere through the Atlantic and Pacific flyways (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). With the available data, however, the bird species involved in this process and the frequency of such events remains unclear.</p><p id="Par27">At the level of internal gene constellations, the lack of reassortment between the viruses from Argentina and other latitudes is notable (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref> and STable <xref rid="MOESM6" ref-type="media">5</xref>), but may be the result of sampling bias in geographical locations and/or host species. Several IAVs from Chile and Peru were obtained from gulls and shorebirds that perform long migrations that serve as important circuits for the dissemination of IAV<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">48</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR49">49</xref></sup>. In contrast, Argentinean isolates were obtained almost exclusively from resident wild duck species with distribution more restricted to South America<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">50</xref></sup>. Systematic surveillance of a larger number of IAV isolates obtained from South America will be necessary to trace the true origin of the SAm lineage, and further understanding of population densities and regional movement among migratory and resident birds in Argentina and other SAm countries is crucial to understand the dynamics of IAV transmission. Monitoring the movement of wild birds by geolocators, and identifying species subpopulations through analysis of stable isotopes and molecular genotyping<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">53</xref></sup>, have the potential to establish the possible points of contact in which wild birds from North and South America overlap to allow virus transmission and reassortment. Such studies would also serve to elucidate whether geographic barriers, such as the Andes Mountains (natural border between Argentina and Chile), restrict the movement of wild bird populations and spillover of viruses from other genetic lineages (e.g., N.Am) into resident species, explaining the absence of reassortant virus strains in Argentina.</p></sec><sec id="Sec8" sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="Sec9"><title>Sample collection</title><p id="Par28">Trained biologists, veterinarians, and park rangers performed sampling between April–July (waterfowl and resident birds) and October–March (shorebirds and migratory species), from 2006 to 2016.
