High-risk areas for spread of avian influenza virus

High-risk areas for epidemic spread of avian influenza virus from poultry farms in The Netherlands. Boender et al applied a computational approach yielding risk maps for the spread of this highly transmissible disease. Farms expected to infect more than one other within a defined radius are shown in red; farms that do not constitute a risk are shown in yellow. Variations reflect the effects of different containment strategies.
