Monitoring Avian Influenza Viruses from Chicken Carcasses Sold at Markets, China, 2016. Emerg Infect Dis. 2017 Oct 15;23(10): Authors: Mao X, Wu J, Lau EHY, Cheng KL, Zhong Z, Song Y, Ji X, Zou L, Ke C, Peiris JSM, Wang H, Yen HL Abstract During 2016 in Guangzhou, China, we detected infectious avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in 39.8% of samples from chicken carcasses slaughtered at live poultry markets but none from carcasses supplied to supermarkets by facilities bypassing live poultry markets. Promoting supply chains with high biosecurity may reduce the risk for zoonotic AIV transmission. PMID: 28767358 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
