White-faced Whistling Duck Dendrocygna viduata fitted with an 18g solar powered satellite transmitter.

Movements of one naturally infected duck were monitored in Nigeria by satellite telemetry (or using a satellite tracking system), providing rare evidence of a non-lethal natural infection by an avian influenza virus with a highly pathogenic viral genotype in wild birds (see Gaidet et al., doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1000127).
