Low frequency of infection with avian influenza virus (H5N1) among poultry farmers, Thailand, 2004

Soawapak Hinjoy et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2008 Mar.

Abstract

In Thai provinces where avian influenza outbreaks in poultry had been confirmed in the preceding 6 months, serum from 322 poultry farmers was tested for antibodies to avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 by microneutralization assay. No study participant met the World Health Organization serologic criteria for confirmed infection.
