From: Mapping the risk of avian influenza in wild birds in the US
Empirical data: AIV cases in the contiguous US. (a) Number of positive wild birds in each of the sampled counties and county equivalents (n = 136). The data are partitioned into classes based on Jenks' natural breaks. (b) Locations of the bird banding stations where cloacal samples were collected as part of the LaMNA, MAPS, and MAWS banding networks. Also shown are the locations of geographic data from BioHealthBase (BHB) and the USDA. (c) Fraction of AIV positive samples. The upper Mississippi River basin and eastern Plains regions are hotspots based on the fraction of positives. (d) Distribution of AIV-positive samples from Passeriformes.
