説明
<jats:p>The aetiological agent of an epizootic among Common Terns (<jats:italic>Sterna hirundo</jats:italic>) in South Africa in 1961 was isolated from several sick birds and named Tern virus. It was classified on the basis of antigenic and morphological properties as a strain of avian influenza virus, Myxovirus influenzae A/Tern/South Africa/1961. The strain-specific antigen of Tern virus was unrelated to all known influenza strains with the single exception of Chicken/Scotland/1959 virus and the two viruses may be regarded as variants of the same strain. This relationship raised the interesting epidemiological possibility of the spread of infection between sea-birds and domestic poultry because the Common Tern migrates between Europe and South Africa.</jats:p>
