Abstract
We tested 529 wild birds captured in northeastern Brazil for infection by avian influenza, Newcastle disease, and West Nile. Viruses were not detected by real-time PCR with the exception of one Tropical Gnatcatcher ( Polioptila plumbea) positive for influenza virus, but this could not be confirmed by viral isolation or gene sequencing.
