Abstract
Orthomyxoviridae and Paramyxoviridae are wide spread around the world these families are consisting of many important species of viruses that infect both human and animals. Wild birds represent one of the most significant host and Reservoir for these viruses. Coronaviruses are known as human health threatening viruses. Bats have considered as a significant harbor of potential known and unknown zoonotic viruses and transmit them to both human and animals. Our study has conducted on 2016 as surveillance for some emerging zoonotic viruses in wild life animals.Samples were collected from 8 species of migratory birds including wild birds Anseriformes (pintail and Northern Shoveler), Columbiformes (Laughing dove) and Gruiformes (Coot, Mallard, Moorhen, Teal and Wigeon) from the northern territory of Egypt (Damietta, Mersa Matruh and Port Said) and bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) from Qalyubia.Out of the total 159 cloacal samples we have gotten only 3 positive samples for Avian Influenza Viruses (M gene) in Anseriformes (2 from pintail and 1 from Northern Shoveler) with the positivity rate of 2.01% while no positive samples were obtained from Columbiformes (Laughing dove) and Gruiformes (Coot, Mallard, Moorhen, Teal and Wigeon) and based on the samples collection sites we{u2019}ve gotten that 2/102 (1.96%) from Damietta, 1/33 (3.03%) from Port Said, no positive samples in Mersa Matruh (0/24). While all the 402 samples of Egyptian fruit bat were negative for influenza A virus with the prevalence rate of (0.00%)
