The risk area for bird flu infectio

The risk area for bird flu infection resulting the spatial overlay of the
variables is shown in Fig 3. The acreage of the risk for the bird flu in
Khon Kaen province in addition to spatial distribution is shown in
Table 4. The study provides the overall insight into each variable for
bird flu infection and the area at risk resulting from the integrations of
the variables spatially and quantitatively. It is evident from the study
that the risk area for bird flu infection covers 1.60% and 26.31% for
highly and moderately risked areas respectively. It is evident that the
risk area resulting from this study is the region with vicinity to the
outbreak area, dense poultry population, close to the farm,
surrounding area of commercial poultry production with wetland and
rice paddies land types.
