A Quantitative assesment of the risk for highly pathogenic avian influenza introduction into Spain via legal trade of live poultry / Fernando Sánchez-Vizcaíno... [et al.]

Sumario: The aim of this article was to estimate the probability of HPAIV introduction into Spain as a consequence of the legal trade of live poultry and to quantify the geographical variation of the risk for HPAIV introduction into the country and the relative contribution of exporting countries and susceptible poultry species to the risk of HPAIV introduction. This information will be useful to assess whether there is a need to apply additional preventive measures or to modify existing preventive measures in order to reduce the risk for HPAIV introduction into the country. The analytical approach used here may be easily extended to assess the risk for HPAI introduction via importation of live poultry during the silent phase of an epidemic in other countries and regions of the world
