Abstract

Epidemiological information on currently circulating influenza viruses in poultry in Korea has not been available. We performed the surveillance of avian influenza viruses in the live poultry markets where chickens, ducks, geese, and doves are sold. H9N2, H3N2, and H6N1 influenza viruses were isolated from poultry in the Korean live bird markets. H9N2 influenza viruses were mainly isolated from chickens; H3N2 influenza viruses were isolated from ducks and a dove, and an H6N1 influenza virus was isolated from a duck. Serological surveillance in chickens showed that chickens were infected over 50% with H9N2 viruses.
