Poultry and wild birds have transmitted AIV to humans, most frequently subtypes H5 and H7, but also different strains and subtypes of H6, H9, and H10. Determining which birds are AIV reservoirs can help identify human populations that have a high risk of infection with these viruses due to occupational or recreational exposure to the reservoir species. To assess the prevalence of AIV in tropical birds, from 2010 to 2014, we sampled 40\u00a0099 birds at 32 sites in Central Africa (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon) and West Africa (Benin, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Togo). In Central Africa, detection rates by real-time RT\u2013PCR were 16\u00b76% in songbirds (eight passerine families,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01257), 16\u00b74% in kingfishers (family Alcedinidae,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a073), 8\u00b72% in ducks (family Anatidae,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0564), and 3\u00b765% in chickens (family Phasianidae,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01042). Public health authorities should educate human cohorts that have high exposure to these bird populations about AIV and assess their adherence to biosecurity practices, including Cameroonian farmers who raise small backyard flocks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268814003586","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,22]],"date-time":"2014-12-22T11:18:20Z","timestamp":1419247100000},"page":"2205-2212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Avian influenza surveillance in Central and West Africa, 2010\u20132014"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"143","author":[{"given":"T.
