摘要

Live Bird Marketing System (LBMS). As part of the ongoing LBMS surveillance for presence of avian influenza virus (AIV) and avian paramyxovirus type-1 (APMV-1), the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) tested 4,377 specimens in 672 submissions from 11 states (Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island) by virus isolation in embryonating chicken eggs. The surveillance is a collaborative effort between individualStates and the United States Department of Agriculture. However, only specimens submitted to the NVSL, which include all presumptive positive specimens detected at the State level, are reported here.
