Highlights
Avian Influenza Maps and Images
A small, but highly relevant collection of avian influenza maps and
images are available on the WDIN web site. We invite you to explore
them. The maps include migratory flyway patterns and the location of
outbreaks. They may be used in presentations or handouts with proper
citations. Images include photos of species targeted for AI sampling
and an illustration of how the flu virus invades a cell.
