The relationship between environmental factors and the onsets of avian influenza virus (AIV; H5N1) outbreaks in Thailand was studied. The results show that the onsets of the disease correlate with the maximum gradient of temperature and wind speed within 24 hours, density of villages in a radius of five kilometers, and distance from the last AIV outbreak area. This study also presents how meteorological conditions have an effect on the occurrence of onsets of AIV in Thailand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
