Evaluating the impact of avian paramyxovirus type 1 infection in poultry at live bird markets in Nigeria: defining hurdles to sustainable agriculture
This study demonstrated that APMV-1 continues to circulate in LBMs in Nigeria. LBM traders, poultry producers, and related industry and policy stakeholders should be aware of the occurrence of APMV-1 and how ND may negatively impact upon poultry production and the livelihoods of poultry farmers and LBM traders. Training initiatives aimed at improving the knowledge of APMV-1 infection and improvements in biosecurity practises and the role of disease mitigation through vaccination are required to reduce the impact of this threat to food security.
