The outbreak of highly pathogenic avian Influenza that has spread to the territories of Western Europe in 2006 generated questions about the risks of contact between wild birds and poultry that have access to an outdoor trail. Within this framework, the birds likely to attend the courses of poultry as well as their surroundings were characterized on the territories of the Dombes, Bresse, the Pays de la Loire and the Landes with standard observation protocols. Specific monitoring of the movements of Mallard, species the AI tank, has been implemented. At the end of this study, certain factors increasing or decreasing the risk of exposure of poultry to the virus have been highlighted. Furthermore, the mallard duck does not appear to come into contact with poultry. The question arose on the role of birds frequenting both ponds and farms, which can be an intermediary between mallard ducks and poultry.
