摘要

Background: Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) due to H5N1 began in October 2003 and have affected poultry in 31 of 33 provinces in Indonesia. Very little is known about the HPAI in commercial poultry. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of HPAI due to H5 avian influenza viruses in live-bird markets that trade in commercial poultry located in the greater Jakarta metropolitan area on Java Island, Indonesia. Secondary objectives were to identify geographic origin and bird type associated with the presence of HPAI within markets.
