Abstract
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.
Highlights
At present, scientific reports have found relationships between avian influenza virus (AIV) and several limiting factors namely temperature, pH, and medicinal liquids (World Health Organization, 2009) as well as the ability of AIV to survive in water for 3 days (Songserm et al, 2005)
None of the literature has mentioned the relationship of environmental factors to the AIV outbreak and with the onsets of AIV outbreaks
This paper describes the relationship between environmental factors and the onsets of the AIV outbreaks in Thailand, in order to plan disease control in the future
