Detailed Description

Examples of poultry facility exposure by GPS-marked Canada Geese (CANG) and Greater Snow Geese (GSGO). Four cases of poultry facility exposure and adjacent property use by wintering Canada Geese (CANG) and Greater Snow Geese (GSGO) in the Delmarva Peninsula during the winter of 2022-2023 (A-D). Two cases included facilities associated with farm ponds (A-B) (blue outline). Each colored point represents 5 minutes of exposure time for a distinct individual (A = CANG, n = 1, purple; B = GSGO, n = 1, blue; C = GSGO, n = 2, yellow/blue; D = GSGO, n = 4, blue/pink/green/yellow). Background imagery from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP).

The ongoing global outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (HPAIv) Clade 2.3.4.4 H5N1 in poultry, which was first detected in the United States (USA) in February 2022, underscores the importance of improving food biosecurity and wild bird surveillance. The Delmarva Peninsula is vital to wintering waterfowl and to poultry production, thereby increasing the risk of HPAIv...

Exploring Wild Bird Movements to Understand Avian Influenza Risk for Poultry Farms on the Delmarva Peninsula

A recent collaborative study involving USGS, University of Delaware, University of California Davis, and Canadian colleagues used GPS tracking to learn how Canada Geese and Snow Geese use the landscape when wintering on the Delmarva Peninsula. These data were then used to understand location-based risk factors for the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (HPAIV) to commercial poultry...
