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.
KEYWORDS:
China; avian influenza; chickens; dressed poultry; food safety; influenza; markets; poultry; viral load; viruses; zoonoses
