Backyard Poultry at Increased Risk of HPAI as Migrating Mallards Halt for Rest
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on RedditShare on Telegram

The researchers employed an intricate computer modeling approach to assess the infection risks to backyard poultry during the migratory periods of these waterfowl. Their primary case study was set against Croatia’s unique geographical layout—an established stopover region for migratory populations, including mallards and mute swans. The model intricately accounted for variations in arrival patterns, stopover durations, and the likelihood of interactions between migratory and resident bird species, as well as the overlapping populations of backyard poultry. Approximately 7 to 28 days is the time frame that migratory mallards spend resting in Croatia during their travels, making it essential to evaluate these stopover periods as critical points for potential virus transmission.

In the context of global agriculture, the importance of biosecurity practices cannot be overstated. The agricultural sector frequently faces threats from infectious diseases that could severely impact livestock health and food security. The ability to predict and mitigate the risk of HPAI transmission is crucial not merely for individual farms but for entire agricultural economies reliant on poultry production. Insights gained from Cornell’s research may translate into comprehensive public health strategies and biosecurity regulations designed to protect both livestock and public health.

Subject of Research: Avian Influenza and Waterfowl Migration
