RETRACTED ARTICLE: Interactions of Aspergillus fumigatus with the respiratory system in poultry

Abstract

We, the Editor and Publisher of World’s Poultry Science Journal, have retracted the following article:

M.T. Munir, Z.U. Rehman, M.A. Shah & S. Umar, ‘Interactions of Aspergillus fumigatus with the respiratory system in poultry’ (2017) 73:2 321-336 https://doi.org/10.1017/S0043933917000022

The above article has been retracted as, subsequent to publication, significant duplication has been found in content throughout the article, particularly in the ‘Abstract,’ ‘Introduction,’ ‘Poultry exposure and pathogenesis,’ ‘Pathology associated with natural aspergillosis,’ ‘Pathology associated with experimental aspergillosis,’ ‘Diagnosis,’ ‘Immune interventions and treatments,’ and ‘Conclusion’ sections with the following earlier published work:

Arne, P.; Thierry, S.; Wang D.; Deville, M.; Le Loc’h, G.; Desoutter, A.; Féménia, F.; Nieguitsila, A.; Huang, W.; Chermette, R. & Guillot, J. ‘Aspergillus fumigatus in Poultry’ International Journal of Microbiology’ (2011) DOI 10.1155/2011/746356

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
