Abstract: In order to explore the current situation and trend of avian influenza prevention and control research in China,and understand the hotspots and problems in related research in China. Based on the web of science database and incoPat patent database,this paper analyzes the research trend of avian influenza virus prevention and control in China from the perspective of bibliometrics,including the impact situation,theme situation and citation situation. Select one OIE Reference Laboratories in China,and three OIE Reference Laboratories as benchmarking teams,and reveal the research trends and hotspots of avian influenza prevention and control in China through the benchmarking analysis. In the dimension of impact situation,China is following the pace of international research,with advantages in the growth rate of papers,excellent performance in the frequency of cited patents,but insufficient performance in patent intensity. In the dimension of theme situation,the R&D hotspots in China involve “diagnosis” and “prevention”. In the dimension of citation situation,the overall distribution of China is relatively concentrated in institutions and years,unlike other countries,its citation situation is more diffuse.

Key words: prevention and control of avian influenza, benchmarking analysis, bibliometrics, development trend
