[h=1]Role of Backyard Flocks in Transmission Dynamics of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Clade 2.3.4.4, France, 2016-2017.[/h] Souvestre M, Guinat C, Niqueux E, Robertet L, Croville G, Paul M, Schmitz A, Bronner A, Eterradossi N, Gu?rin JL.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) clade 2.3.4.4 spread in France during 2016-2017. We assessed the biosecurity and avian influenza virus infection status of 70 backyard flocks near H5N8-infected commercial farms. One flock was seropositive for clade 2.3.4.4. Backyard flocks linked to commercial farms had elevated risk for H5 infection.
