Investigating poultry trade patterns to guide avian influenza surveillance and control: a case study in Vietnam (2016)
Journal Article
Fournié, G., Tripodi, A., Nguyen, T. T. T., Nguyen, V. T., Tran, T. T., Bisson, A., …Newman, S. H. (2016). Investigating poultry trade patterns to guide avian influenza surveillance and control: a case study in Vietnam. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep29463

Live bird markets are often the focus of surveillance activities monitoring avian influenza viruses (AIV) circulating in poultry. However, in order to ensure a high sensitivity of virus detection and effectiveness of management actions, poultry manag...

Exploring pig trade patterns to inform the design of risk-based disease surveillance and control strategies (2016)
Journal Article
Guinat, C., Relun, A., Wall, B. A., Morris, A., Dixon, L., & Pfeiffer, D. U. (2016). Exploring pig trade patterns to inform the design of risk-based disease surveillance and control strategies. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep28429

An understanding of the patterns of animal contact networks provides essential information for the design of risk-based animal disease surveillance and control strategies. This study characterises pig movements throughout England and Wales between 20...

Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia? (2016)
Journal Article
Henning, J., Pfeiffer, D. U., Stevenson, M., Yulianto, D., Priyono, W., & Meers, J. (2016). Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152123

Duck populations are considered to be a reservoir of Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1 in some agricultural production systems, as they are able to shed the virus for several days without clinical signs. Countries endemically affect... Read More about Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?.
