European goose smaller than the brant; breeds in the far north. 比普通黑雁小的欧洲鹅;在很远的北方繁殖。
After examining many preserved birds from the era, our group isolated an avian subtype H1 influenza strain from a Brant goose collected in1917 and stored in ethanol in the Smithsonian's bird collections. 在检查了许多从那个年代保存下来的鸟类标本之后,我们团队从史密森尼的鸟类收藏品中,一只浸在乙醇里的1917年黑雁体内,分离出某个H1流感病毒亚型。
