Experts say different varieties of poultry should be kept separately
Rigorous management of live poultry markets is vital to controlling the risk of infection from the bird flu, scientists said recently.
"The H7N9 outbreak lineage has spread over a large geographic region and is prevalent in chickens at live poultry markets, which are thought to be the immediate source of human infections," according to an article published in the journal Nature on Aug 21.
The H7N9 bird flu virus, first detected in March, has infected more than 130 people in China and killed more than 40.
"Different kinds of poultry should be raised and sold separately in order to control the spread of H7N9," said Guan Yi, one of the authors of the article in Nature and a flu expert at the University of Hong Kong.
