Serologic evidence of avian adeno-associated virus infection (USA, Yates et al., 1991)
- 6% of unselected adults
- 14.3% of poultry workers
- results suggested that A-AV infections not restricted to avian species but are found in the human adult population
Chinese farm families with household ducks an pigs share influenza viruses ( Shu et al ., 1996)
- Intermingling of humans, pigs and ducks on Chinese farms are favorable to the generation of new, and potentially hazardous strains of influenza virus
