Environmental factors found to be key predictors of avian flu outbreaks in Europe

Environmental factors found to be key predictors of avian flu outbreaks in Europe

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers have identified several local factors that could help predict the potential of highly pathogenic avian flu (HPAI) outbreaks in Europe. Factors such as the minimum temperature reached in autumn, water levels in lakes and ponds in winter, and the presence of mute swans were found to be key predictors of HPAI outbreaks.

HPAI outbreaks pose a serious threat to both animal and public health. The increase in avian influenza virus infections in mammals during the 2022 outbreaks raised concerns about the potential spillover into humans. Understanding the factors that contribute to HPAI outbreaks is crucial in preventing such events from occurring.

Researchers, led by Joacim Rocklöv, developed a machine learning model based on the characteristics of HPAI outbreaks in Europe between 2006 and 2021. Factors such as seasonal temperature, precipitation conditions, wild bird population, poultry density, vegetation density, and water levels were analyzed to predict outbreak likelihood. The model was tested using data from 2022 and 2023 outbreaks to validate its accuracy.

The study found that the coldest recorded temperature in autumn had the most significant impact on outbreak likelihood, with variations across different regions. Cold winter and spring temperatures also increased the likelihood of outbreaks. Conversely, low vegetation density in autumn and lower water levels in lakes and ponds in winter were associated with a decreased likelihood of outbreaks. Additionally, the presence of mute swans was linked to an increased likelihood of HPAI outbreaks.

These findings could help improve regional surveillance programs for HPAI across Europe, enabling early detection and response to potential outbreaks. By tailoring monitoring efforts based on local factors such as temperature, water levels, and wildlife populations, authorities can better prepare for and prevent future HPAI outbreaks.
