Worries over the spread of bird flu in China - despite World Health Organization insistence there is no evidence it could be spreading among humans - caused market jitters among livestock, hotel and catering, airline and tourism stocks on Monday.

The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.62 percent to close at 2,211.59 points.

Four livestock-related stocks dropped by their daily limit of 10 percent, Shanghai Jin Jiang International Hotels (Group) Co Ltd fell 5.21 percent, while restaurant group China Quanjude Group, which is listed on the Shenzhen bourse, slipped by 4.62 percent.

Some restaurants in Hangzhou have temporarily stopped serving pigeon in the wake of H7N9 virus being found in a pigeon sample in Shanghai.

Concerned that poultry might be high risk, Zhang Sheng Ji Restaurant said it stopped serving roast pigeon from April 4 in all five of its stores in Hangzhou.

Roost Restaurant in Shangcheng district stopped serving its specialty roasted pigeon on Monday as orders fell. The Tang Palace Seafood Restaurant in Jianggan district of Hangzhou also said it had stopped serving the dish for the same reason.

Xiao Nan Guo Restaurant Holdings Ltd said it would stop serving three cold dishes made of chicken in its chain stores for a week, largely due to Shanghai closing its poultry markets.

"We will use chicken from Guangdong for those cold dishes, and for our soup dishes, we have been using chicken from Northeast China," said media manager Huang Wei, adding that the group planned to follow government guidelines, as it is a Hong Kong-listed company.

China Eastern Airlines also saw its stock price drop by 3.23 percent on Monday.

Spokesman Wang Jian said investors were remembering the effects of the bird-flu outbreak in 2003.

"But market worries will be temporary. The market in Hong Kong is reacting, although not much. Confidence is already gaining," he said.

Guo Yang, an analyst with Orient Securities Co Ltd, said the outbreak would affect travel spending by people living in the central and eastern parts of China, but that he expected the effect on travel-related stocks to be short-term.

Kong Wei, the manager of China Comfort Travel's City Plaza branch in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, said inquiries had dropped 30 percent since seven people were first reported to have died from the virus.

"As most travel packages are booked in advance, we have not been affected so far. But some domestic routes have been affected, resulting in a boom for overseas travel," she said.

Kong added that in 2003, there was literally no business for a whole month.
