The USGS is offering this cooperative agreement to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to develop a crucial network model. This grant is for evaluating the risk of avian influenza virus dispersal between East Asia and North America, specifically focusing on northern pintail ducks as vectors. The primary objective is to create a quantitative risk model that synthesizes comprehensive data on northern pintail movement patterns and the prevalence of avian influenza viruses. This research aims to enhance understanding and prediction of intercontinental IAV spread, contributing significantly to public health and wildlife management efforts. The developed model will serve as a vital tool for assessing and mitigating potential outbreaks originating from migratory bird populations.
