Avian influenza A (H7N9) and (H5N1) infections among poultry and swine workers and the general population in Beijing, China, 2013–2015

Although several studies have reported seroprevalences of antibody against avian influenza A(H7N9) virus among poultry workers in southern China, results have varied and data in northern China are scarce.

Poultry workers, swine workers and the general population in Beijing, China, were evaluated through three surveys in November 2013, April 2014 and April 2015.
