This study uses a synergistic approach, combining the outbreak data
of Khon Kaen province during the year 2004, the previous study
made by a number of agencies and spatial analysis of the outbreak
variables. The actual data for outbreaks of bird flu have been taken
from DLD. On January-February 2004 and July-December 2004 the
H5N1 virus spread in Khon Kaen province covering mainly the
eastern portion of the province. The data collected by DLD included
the locations and their associated attributes of the outbreaks, number
of poultry farms, poultry markets, slaughterhouses and cockpits.
