Abstract

Global disease suitability models are essential tools to inform surveillance systems and enable early detection. We present the first global suitability model of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 and demonstrate that reliable predictions can be obtained at global scale.

This work arises from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
