“…This finding is a little bit lower than the finding of similar study done among Cambodian women, which showed that more than half (57.3%) of respondents suggested that modern medicine available for curing HPAI [16].In general the finding of our study shows that the level of participants' awareness on HPAI is low which contradicts with the studies done in Italy and china reporting high level of awareness [17,18]. This gap could be explained by the fact that the level of literacy among our respondents and the media coverage on HPAI is poor.…”

“…However, transmission by direct contact with ill person and eating raw poultry meat and egg products is responded by few participants as it is compared to other studies. For instance, the result of a cross-sectional study conducted among Cambodian women showed that majorities' response on the modes of transmission of AI is, direct contact with sick or dead birds and followed by airborne transmission which showed a better awareness as compared with our study finding [16]. This difference might be the difference in educational level among the two study groups.…”

Background: The avian influenza virus has different subtypes which have the potential to cause disease in animals and humans. Human cases with influenza A (H5N1), A (H5N6) and A(H7N9) viruses, have been reported to WHO and various influenza A(H5) subtypes continue to be detected in birds globally. Little is known about the types of exposure that result in human infections. In Ethiopia, risk assessment studies were not conducted and the awareness of the community and the risk of exposure for potential avian influenza is undetermined. The aim off this survey is to assess the level of the community awareness and the risk for human exposure to avian influenza viruses (HPAI) in the wet land areas of Ethiopia. Method: The survey was conducted from February - April 2018 in the wet land areas of Ethiopia by using a standard questionnaire and purposive random sampling method. Epi info version 7.0 and SPSS (V.20) were applied for data analysis. Result: Of the total 200 respondents 94.7% don’t know about the mode of transmission and 43.5%, 27%, 16.9% of the respondents believed that HAI it transmitted by inhalation of air droplet (breathing), contact with ill person and eating raw poultry meat and egg products.36.2% of respondents believed that Human avian influenza is preventable by keeping hand hygiene, followed by respiratory hygiene (28%) and environmental hygiene (19.3%). However, 68.6% had close contact with animals (poultry) and high exposure to raw animal products. Conclusion: The awareness level of the community in the mode of transmission, risk factors and preventive measures is very low while the exposure for infected birds, food products remaining high. Further risk assessment studies and community awareness creation on the prevention and control of highly pathogenic avian influenza is recommended. Key words: Avian Influenza, Exposure, Ethiopia

“…Homayounimehr et al (2010) and Soltanialvar et al (2010) have shown that the Iranian isolates possessed amino acid leucine (L) at position 226 instead of glutamine (Q) at the receptor binding site of haemagglutinins (HA) which is similar to A/Quail/HongKong/G1/97 and two human isolates: A/HK/1073/99, A/HK/1074/99 [35][36][37]18] . Amino acid differences in the receptor binding sites of HAs have been shown to be associated with differences in receptor binding specificity [22] .…”

“…A KAP survey of poultry handling behavior among villagers in rural Cambodia revealed that despite high awareness and widespread knowledge about AI and personal protection measures, most rural Cambodians still often practice at-risk poultry handling. Intervention programs must include feasible options for resource-poor settings that have limited materials for personal protection (water, soap, rubber gloves, and masks) and must offer farmers alternative methods to safely work with poultry on a daily basis [185,186].…”

Introduction:A new reassortant avian influenza A (H7N9) virus of low pathogenicity to poultry emerged in eastern provinces of China in early 2013. There have been five epidemic waves causing more than 1600 human infections in 29 provinces and municipalities in mainland China till May 2018.Exposure to H7N9 infected live meat chickens at live bird markets (LBMs) within the affected provinces was suggested to be the main risk factor for human infection. Previous studies demonstrated the role of poor biosecurity measures at poultry farms and LBMs and the role of live poultry trade in the dissemination of avian influenza (AI) virus. However, the continued and increasing number of reported human H7N9 cases throughout China indicated that vulnerabilities linked to the live meat chicken market chain remain, that need to be elucidated in order to better design surveillance programmes and health promotion interventions to prevent poultry and human exposure along the live meat chicken market chain. Aims:The overall aim of the research in this thesis is to define the risks of sustained transmission of H7N9 virus along the live meat chicken market chain in eastern China. To meet the aim, studies were sequentially designed with the following specific objectives: 1) identify the effect of market-level risk factors on avian influenza infections in poultry and humans and generate evidence that will inform avian influenza prevention and control programs at LBMs; 2) to understand the role of live poultry movement and live bird market biosecurity in the epidemiology of H7N9 during the emergency; 3) to understand the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on avian influenza of different actors along the live meat chicken market chain and the risk factors associated with their KAP levels; 4) to develop a spatial risk assessment model of the live chicken market chain within the H7N9 high risk area, to provide essential evidence and recommendations for risk-based AI surveillance programs and appropriate enhancements to current prevention and control policies for H7N9 in the study area. Methods:To address each of the specific objectives four studies have been designed. Firstly, we performed a systematic literature review and estimated the pooled odds ratios of biosecurity indicators relating to human and poultry AI infections at market level using a quality effects meta-analysis model. Secondly, we identified the biosecurity risk factors associated with the H7N9 presence in the surveyed LBMs in the affected provinces during the H7N9 emergency response. We also used social network analysis and spatial analysis to quantify the connectivity of counties in Eastern china via live poultry movements and identify highly connected areas associated with human cases. Then, to quantify differences in KAP of AI among different actors (chicken farmers, live chicken vendors and consumers at LBMs) along the live chicken market chain operating within the areas in the Eastern provinces (i.e.ii Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Anhui) identified in the pre...
