2013 LIVE BIRD MARKETING SYSTEM (LBMS) NOTIFIABLE AVIAN INFLUENZA (NAI) PROGRAM WORKING GROUP REPORT

摘要

In October 2004, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services (VS) published Uniform Standards for NAI Prevention and Control in the LBMS to establish a more consistent approach by participating States in the control of NAI in the LBMS. In August 2012, VS published an updated edition of the Uniform Standards, which includes: adding of the definition of cleaning and disinfection and dealers. The definition of poultry was changed to reflect the OIE standard definition. Significant changes were made to the Bird Testing and Recordkeeping section. The use of rRT-PCR for testing domestic duck cloacal samples was added to the Official Testing of Specimens section.
