16 % of the reporting countries/territories for each semester between 2006 and 2015 that notified HPAI present (data based on reports received up to 4 May 2016) Number of countries 200 y = x x R² = 0.7 % of countries affected 40% % 20% 10% 0 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 0% Countries reporting the disease absent Countries reporting the disease present % affected reporting countries Recent spread World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 16

17 Analysis of WAHIS data Dynamics of the viruses since 2005? Four approaches World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 17

18 Methodology (1) General description of the spread and speed characteristics of the virus Between 2005 and 2015, 6546 HPAI outbreaks reported through INs and FURs For each outbreak, calculation of the distance from index outbreak in the same event (Haversine formula) = Spread values For each outbreak, spread divided by the time since the start of the event = Speed values World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 18

19 Results (1) Spread results of HPAI virus at national event level from 2005 to 2015 Value (km) Minimum Lower quartile Median Upper quartile Maximum Highest values observed in the biggest countries with the capacity to track the evolution of the disease within their national boundaries World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 19

20 Results (1) Speed results for HPAI virus at national event level, from 2005 to 2015 Value (km/ day) Minimum Lower quartile Median Upper quartile Maximum World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 20

21 Possible confounding factors! Starting point may not be the index outbreak Different capacities of veterinary services on surveillance and early detection Outbreaks in the same event might not all be epidemiologically related, etc. World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 21

22 Methodology (2) Differences between outbreaks in domestic and wild birds Between 2005 and 2015, 6546 HPAI outbreaks reported through INs and FURs Domestic birds Index and resulting outbreaks in domestic birds Wild birds Index or resulting outbreaks in wild birds Comparison of spread and speed values World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 22

23 Results (2) Density curves of spread and speed of HPAI viruses calculated at national event level, from 2005 to 2015 Comparison of medians Results of HPAI outbreaks involving wild birds were significantly higher than results of outbreaks involving only domestic birds World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 23

24 Methodology (3) Geographical disparities in speed and spread Between 2005 and 2015, 6546 HPAI outbreaks reported through INs and FURs Kernel density estimator (KDE) 28 critical areas affected by HPAI For each area, median spread For each area, median speed World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 24

25 Results (3) Kernel estimation of critical areas affected by HPAI, classified using spread values x100! Significant geographical disparities World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 25

26 Results (3) Kernel estimation of critical areas affected by HPAI, classified using speed values x20! Significant geographical disparities World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 26

27 Methodology (4) Trends in outbreak duration Outbreaks that started in 2014 or 2015 excluded to avoid bias due to outbreaks still open For each outbreak, difference between the date of end and the date of start = Duration (days) Analysis of duration trend in time, between 2005 and 2013 World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 27

28 Results (4) Results of exponential regression of median duration of HPAI outbreaks in domestic birds from 2005 to 2013 Exponential decrease! P value<0.001 R2=0.24 World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 28

29 Conclusion Countries can compare their data with those collected at global level Interesting information to further explore the factors influencing the dynamics of HPAI viruses The OIE is willing to increase data analysis and expand collaboration with other institutions Making better use of the animal disease information available in WAHIS in line with the Sixth Strategic Plan World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 29

75 Analysis of WAHIS data Is there an association between reporting LPAI in wild birds and previous experience of HPAI in poultry or AI in humans? World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 75

76 Methodology Countries which submitted wild annual reports (119) Reported the presence of LPAI in wild birds? (Yes=39) Impacted by AI viruses in poultry or humans? (Yes=31) Odds ratio Association? World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 76

77 Results and discussion Strong association! OR = 3.6 (CI95% = [ ]) Overlapping areas where LPAI circulates in wild birds and where AI infected humans and poultry Countries with experience of AI in humans and poultry put more efforts in detecting/reporting LPAI in wild birds World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 77

78 Infection with Sarcoptes scabiei Importance to environmental integrity and ecological sustainability Can cause a huge and dramatic decrease of threatened or endangered species of wildlife. Sanitary management of threatened and endangered wild animals World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 78

79 Distribution of infection with Sarcoptes scabiei among the countries submitting wild annual reports for non OIE listed diseases % reporting countries affected World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 79
