In context of IAV, and to a lesser degree CoV and APMV-1, an assessment of virus prevalence and diversity in an urban population will further allow us to assess if dynamics in wild birds are reflected in an urban setting. In comparing prevalence [Sept-Dec] between our urban dataset and a wild bird dataset from southern Sweden using the same qPCR methods (Wille et al., 2015) , autumnal prevalence for IAV (p b 0.0010) and CoV (p b 0.0010) is significantly different, where prevalence for both these viruses is lower in urban Mallards (Fig. 2) . ./cache/cord-278465-tjjkz16y.txt ./txt/cord-278465-tjjkz16y.txt
