Poultry Infection with Influenza Viruses of Wild Bird Origin, China, 2016.
Yu Z, Cheng K, Gao Y.
Abstract
Migratory birds may play a role in transmission of avian influenza virus. We report the infection of black-tailed gulls and chickens in eastern China with avian influenza (H13N2) and (H13N8) viruses. We found that these H13 viruses were transmitted from migratory birds to domestic poultry.
