Detection of influenza A virus in live bird markets in Kenya, 2009–2011	2012-04-19		.txt	text/plain	3991	240	60	authors: Munyua, Peninah M.; Githinji, Jane W.; Waiboci, Lilian W.; Njagi, Leonard M.; Arunga, Geoffrey; Mwasi, Lydia; Murithi Mbabu, R.; Macharia, Joseph M.; Breiman, Robert F.; Kariuki Njenga, M.; Katz, Mark A. Background Surveillance for influenza viruses within live bird markets (LBMs) has been recognized as an effective tool for detecting circulating avian influenza viruses (AIVs). Efforts should be made to promote practices that could limit the maintenance and transmission of AIVs in LBMs. Influenza A viruses are zoonotic pathogens that infect a variety of domestic poultry such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. 2, 4, 5 Surveillance for influenza viruses within live bird markets (LBMs) has been recognized as an effective tool for detecting circulating influenza subtypes in the poultry population. 7, 8 Influenza viruses have also been detected in various environmental specimens collected in contaminated areas in LBMs including drinking water troughs, and surfaces in the delivery, holding and slaughter areas in markets.	./cache/cord-002852-m4l2l2r1.txt	./txt/cord-002852-m4l2l2r1.txt
