Territorial risk of high pathogenicity avian influenza in France is associated with farmed species diversity

The paper shows that greater diversity of livestock farms in France is associated with lower risk of high pathogenicity avian influenza, suggesting livestock diversity can reduce disease spread.

A modelling challenge to improve preparedness for highly pathogenicavian influenza epidemics: objectives, design and synthetic datageneration

This paper describes a modelling challenge for HPAI epidemics, including synthetic data generation and team analysis of epidemic scenarios.

Integrating multi-host modelling with empirical wildlife-livestock contacts reveals an essential population in a pathogen reservoir

The paper develops a multi-host model for brucellosis in the French Alps, identifying Alpine ibex and their environment as essential for pathogen maintenance and transmission to livestock.

Promising effects of duck vaccination against highly pathogenic avian influenza, France 2023-24

The paper assesses duck vaccination in France and estimates it averted 314-756 outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza, reducing epizootic size by 96-99%.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza management in high-density poultry farming areas

This study analyzes the spread of H5 avian influenza in high-density poultry farms using phylogeographic tools, identifying key factors driving transmission and control thresholds.

Global risk mapping of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 and H5Nx in the light of epidemic episodes occurring from 2020 onward

This study maps global risk areas for H5N1 and H5Nx avian influenza using ecological niche models, showing increased risk in Europe, Asia, and the Americas post-2020.
