| genetic analysis of local vietnamese chickens provides evidence of gene flow from wild to domestic populations. | previous studies suggested that multiple domestication events in south and south-east asia (yunnan and surrounding areas) and india have led to the genesis of modern domestic chickens. ha giang province is a northern vietnamese region, where local chickens, such as the h'mong breed, and wild junglefowl coexist. the assumption was made that hybridisation between wild junglefowl and ha giang chickens may have occurred and led to the high genetic diversity previously observed. the objectives of thi ... | 2009 | 19133138 |
| vietnamese chickens: a gate towards asian genetic diversity. | chickens represent an important animal genetic resource and the conservation of local breeds is an issue for the preservation of this resource. the genetic diversity of a breed is mainly evaluated through its nuclear diversity. however, nuclear genetic diversity does not provide the same information as mitochondrial genetic diversity. for the species gallus gallus, at least 8 maternal lineages have been identified. while breeds distributed westward from the indian subcontinent usually share hapl ... | 2010 | 20565868 |
| looking for avian influenza in remote areas. a case study in northern vietnam. | epidemiological surveys of avian influenza infections rarely focus on backyard poultry systems in remote locations because areas with low levels of poultry production are considered to have little influence on the emergence, re-emergence, persistence or spread of avian influenza viruses. in addition, routine disease investigations in remote areas often are neglected due to the lower availability and relatively high cost of veterinary services there. a bank of avian sera collected in 2005 from et ... | 2011 | 21840292 |
