Interaction between humans and poultry, rural Cambodia

Emerg Infect Dis. 2007 Jan;13(1):130-2. doi: 10.3201/eid1301.061014.

Abstract

Because avian influenza H5N1 infection risks are associated with exposure to infected poultry, we conducted a knowledge, attitudes, and practices survey of poultry-handling behavior among villagers in rural Cambodia. Despite widespread knowledge of avian influenza and personal protection measures, most rural Cambodians still have a high level of at-risk poultry handling.
