We investigated the circulation of avian influenza viruses in poultry populations throughout Papua New Guinea to assess the risk to the poultry industry and human health. Oropharyngeal swabs, cloacal swabs and serum were collected from 537 poultry from 14 provinces of Papua New Guinea over an 11-month period (June 2011 through April 2012). Virological and serological investigations were undertaken to determine the prevalence of avian influenza viruses. Neither influenza A viruses nor antibodies were detected in any of the samples. This study demonstrated that avian influenza viruses were not circulating at detectable levels in poultry populations in Papua New Guinea during the sampling period. However, avian influenza remains a significant risk to Papua New Guinea due to the close proximity of countries having previously reported highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses and the low biosecurity precautions associated with the rearing of most poultry populations in the country.
我们调查了整个巴布亚新几内亚家禽群体中禽流感病毒的传播情况，以评估对家禽业和人类健康的风险。在11个月期间（2011年6月至2012年4月），从巴布亚新几内亚14个省的537只家禽中采集了口咽拭子、泄殖腔拭子和血清。进行了病毒学和血清学调查以确定禽流感病毒的流行情况。在任何样本中均未检测到甲型流感病毒或抗体。这项研究表明，在采样期间，巴布亚新几内亚家禽群体中禽流感病毒未在可检测水平上传播。然而，由于此前报告过高致病性禽流感病毒的国家距离很近，且该国大多数家禽养殖的生物安全预防措施较低，禽流感对巴布亚新几内亚仍然构成重大风险。
