Over the last 10 years, low-pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) viruses have been isolated from the live-bird markets (LBMs) of the Northeast. Despite educational efforts, surveillance, and increased state regulatory efforts, the number of positive markets has persisted and increased. In an effort to address the continued levels of LPAI in the retail LBM and address the question of persistence and circulation of the virus within the LBM system itself, these markets were closed for a continuous 3-day period. This effort was a cooperative effort between the State Departments of Agriculture and coordinated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and led to the first successful system-wide closure of the retail LBMs in the Northeast.
在过去十年中，低致病性禽流感（LPAI）病毒已从东北地区的活禽市场分离出来。尽管开展了宣传工作、进行了监测并加强了国家监管力度，但检测呈阳性的市场数量一直居高不下且呈上升趋势。为了解决零售活禽市场中持续存在的低致病性禽流感问题，并解决该病毒在活禽市场系统内部的持续存在和传播问题，这些市场连续关闭了三天。这项工作是由美国农业部协调、各州农业部门共同开展的合作行动，首次成功实现了东北地区零售活禽市场的全系统关闭。
