High prevalence of H9 avian influenza and goose circovirus may guide surveillance in Chinese goose farms; leaves open longitudinal studies on co-infection risks and control.
Cross-Sectional (n=478)
Yes
The study highlights the high prevalence of H9 avian influenza and goose circovirus in Chinese goose farms, emphasizing the utility of a triplex PCR assay for rapid detection and the commonality of co-infections.
Niu et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Viral infections in geese (n=478). Viral infections (H9 avian influenza, Newcastle disease, Tembusu, goose parvovirus, goose circovirus) was evaluated on Incidence rates of five infectious diseases. Epidemiological investigation of 478 samples from goose farms in China revealed that H9 avian influenza and goose circovirus had the highest incidence rates among five evaluated infectious diseases.
