Abstract
<i>Rickettsia raoultii</i>–like Bacteria in<i>Dermacentor</i>spp. Ticks, Tibet, China
Highlights
To determine if contaminated soil contributes to the transmission cycle of Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus (H5N1), we used experimental and simulated field conditions to assess possible transmission in chickens
All experiments were conducted by using HPAI virus (H5N1) strain A/chicken/Cambodia/LC1AL/2007
We seeded the soil samples with 1–56 infectious units of contaminated feces; 1 infectious unit was defined as 1 g feces from an Specific pathogen–free (SPF) duck mixed with 1 × 107.8 50% egg infective dose of HPAI virus (H5N1) particles
