Publisher's Note: Error in Abstract and Materials and Methods section

Posted by PLOS_ONE_Group on 07 Nov 2013 at 00:24 GMT

The first sentence of the Abstract was erroneously shortened. The correct sentence is as follows:
Poultry diseases can have major implications on a country’s economy, food source, and public health.

The heading for the section "Serologuc Assays" in Materials and Methods was misspelled. The correction heading is "Serologic Assays."

No competing interests declared.
