| avian influenza in vietnam: chicken-hearted consumers? | this study, based on quantitative and qualitative surveys conducted from july 2004 to september 2005, examines the perceptions of hanoi consumers and their reactions to the avian influenza epizootic (h5n1). hanoi consumers clearly link the risk of human contamination by the virus to the preparation and ingestion of poultry. during the first crisis, consumers reacted quickly and intensely (74% of them had already stopped eating poultry in january 2004). nevertheless, once the crisis abated, they ... | 2008 | 18419660 |
| avian influenza a (h5n1) in 10 patients in vietnam. | recent outbreaks of avian influenza a (h5n1) in poultry throughout asia have had major economic and health repercussions. human infections with this virus were identified in vietnam in january 2004. | 2004 | 14985470 |
| isolation and characterization of avian influenza viruses, including highly pathogenic h5n1, from poultry in live bird markets in hanoi, vietnam, in 2001. | since 1997, outbreaks of highly pathogenic (hp) h5n1 and circulation of h9n2 viruses among domestic poultry in asia have posed a threat to public health. to better understand the extent of transmission of avian influenza viruses (aiv) to humans in asia, we conducted a cross-sectional virologic study in live bird markets (lbm) in hanoi, vietnam, in october 2001. specimens from 189 birds and 18 environmental samples were collected at 10 lbm. four influenza a viruses of the h4n6 (n = 1), h5n2 (n = ... | 2005 | 15767421 |
| prevalence of salmonella in retail chicken meat in hanoi, vietnam. | infection with salmonella (s.) is the most frequently reported cause of bacterial food-borne illness worldwide. poultry are a common source and, in recent years, much attention has been focused in determining the prevalence of salmonella during the different stages in the poultry production chain. this article was designed to investigate the prevalence of salmonella serovars in retail chicken meat sold in hanoi. a total of 262 samples were randomly collected from retail markets and examined for ... | 2006 | 17135521 |
| conservation priorities and optimum allocation of conservation funds for vietnamese local chicken breeds. | the objectives of this study were to estimate conservation potential of vietnamese local breeds and to investigate optimal allocation of conservation funds to maximize genetic diversity conserved between these breeds. twenty-nine microsatellites were genotyped in 353 individuals from nine vietnamese local chicken breeds and two chicken breeds of chinese origin. the vietnamese chicken breeds were sampled from the northern and southern parts of vietnam while the two chinese breeds have been kept a ... | 2011 | 21749475 |
| 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 |
