Abstract
Bat Rabies and Human Postexposure Prophylaxis, New York, USA
Highlights
Rates of touching poultry during buying (5%) were unchanged (Table)
The 21% decline in exposure from less buying, but not touching, of live poultry suggests that limiting poultry availability, but not health education efforts, was responsible
Our previous studies suggest that public health education might have contributed to an ≈43% reduction in rate of touching when buying live poultry in Hong
Summary
Rates of touching poultry during buying (5%) were unchanged (Table). Using a standardized estimate [5], we determined that purchasing households bought on average 11.4 live chickens/household/ year in 2010 versus 14.4 in 2006 (Table). 6.
