Vong S, Ly S, Mardy S, Holl D, Buchy P. Environmental Contamination during Influenza A Virus (H5N1) Outbreaks, Cambodia, 2006. Emerg Infect Dis,2008 Aug
To determine potential risk for bird-to-human transmission during influenza A virus (H5N1) outbreaks among backyard poultry in rural Cambodia, we collected environmental specimens. Viral RNA was detected in 27 (35%) of 77 specimens of mud, pond water, water plants, and soil swabs. Our results underscore the need for regular disinfection of poultry areas.
