Nucleotide sequences from five species of wild ducks were tested for an association between influenza infection state and Mx haplotype using CLUMP. The data were also evaluated after stratification by sample year. A p-value < 0.05 indicates a significant association.
Overall prevalence of infection by species and year (prevalence, positive/total sampled): 2006, teal (32.5%, 13/40), wigeon (1.2%, 1/81), mallard (10.5%, 62/592), pintail (9.1%, 28/307), shoveler (18.2%, 4/22); 2007, teal (7.5%, 10/133), wigeon (3.5%, 6/241), mallard (9.6%, 48/499), pintail (2.6%, 25/978), shoveler (25.4%, 30/118).
