由于所有已知的甲型流感亚型都存在于水鸟宿主中，流感不是一种可以根除的疾病;预防和控制是唯一现实的目标。如果人、猪和水禽是与流感病毒种间转移和新的人类大流行毒株出现相关的主要变量，则需要对这些物种进行流感监测。直接向公众销售的活禽市场中有各种各样的禽类（鸡、鸭、鹅、鸽子、火鸡、野鸡、珍珠鸡），偶尔还有猪，为流感病毒的基因混合和传播提供了良好的条件;因此，应监测这些禽类的流感病毒。此外，如果猪是流感病毒的混合容器，对这一群体的监测也可能为人类提供早期预警系统。
Because all known influenza A subtypes exist in the aquatic bird reservoir, influenza is not an eradicable disease; prevention and control are the only realistic goals. If people, pigs, and aquatic birds are the principal variables associated with interspecies transfer of influenza virus and the emergence of new human pandemic strains, influenza surveillance in these species is indicated. Live-bird markets housing a wide variety of avian species together (chickens, ducks, geese, pigeon, turkeys, pheasants, guinea fowl), occasionally with pigs, for sale directly to the public provide outstanding conditions for genetic mixing and spreading of influenza viruses; therefore, these birds should be monitored for influenza viruses. Moreover, if pigs are the mixing vessel for influenza viruses, surveillance in this population may also provide an early warning system for humans.
