#TrackFLU meet Wildlife Conservation Society Cambodia to discuss how wild bird data could help explain #HPAI virus circulation in domestic birds. Potential collaboration for our next field study later this year! @epidesa.bsky.social @institutpasteur.bsky.social @inrae-france.bsky.social
📢 New paper out! Since Oct 2023, France has vaccinated ducks against HPAI. Outbreaks dropped sharply. We estimated 314–756 outbreaks were expected, but saw 96–99% fewer. Vaccination likely key, but other factors still to explore. doi.org/10.3201/eid3... @epidesa.bsky.social @inrae-france.bsky.social
#TrackFLU. Cross-sectional study almost complete, 7th province with one last to go! Over 10,000 samples, 200 sites, 300 interviews, a rich dataset is growing 😊

This month, we're hosting Yik Lim Hew, PhD candidate from Hokkaido University 🇯🇵. His research dives into the epidemiology of #HPAI in Japan, and during his stay, he’ll be investigating outbreaks: tracking introductions, regional spread, and species jumps using #phylodynamics.
@epidesa.bsky.social
- Duck farm density was as strong a predictor of outbreaks as movements—meaning it could serve as a proxy when movement data is unavailable
- Duck farm activity in nearby municipalities was also key in predicting outbreaks for a given municipality
🤔 What did we learn?
- Risk maps based on 2020-21 outbreaks align with those from 2016-17, confirming stable spatial trends of HPAI H5N8
- Duck movements played a key role in outbreaks—not as direct causes but as indicators of farm activity
📢 New paper out! 🦆

Usually, HPAI is first detected by increased mortality in sheds. Here, day of first infection calculated, with a useful app. Data useful for contact tracing poultry and farms.

#TrackFLU This week, our team visited provinces to identify poultry markets & farms for our upcoming cross-sectional study. Collaborating with vets, traders & farmers gave us first insights into Cambodia’s poultry trade. Bonus: Angkor Wat sunrise!🌅
