Avian Influenza Risk Maps:
At the request of the
United Nations Working Group on the Avian Influenza,
SAHIMS has produced a map on chicken density for the
southern African region. Based on the working premise
that chicken density is a significant determinant of the
speed at which the virus could spread, this map shows
potential bird flu hotspots.
