                                        Research Question
- Identify and quantify transmission pathways inter and intra-species
 
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Establishing the Inter- and intra-species transmission dynamics
 - Model systems or non-invasive ways to study intraspecies transmission
 
Solution Routes
- Transmission dynamics of influenza across major interfaces (e.g. wild, domestic, human, and environment), particularly between pigs and humans
 - Interaction pathways between wild birds and poultry, and computational models of such pathways
 - Increasing understanding of live poultry markets and related viral transmission dynamics
 - Routes and patterns of avian influenza incursion into poultry holdings
 - Factors that influence the spread/risk of HPAI along new bird migratory routes
 - Propagation pathways of swine influenza between herds (e.g. live pig transport, airborne transmission, etc.)
 
Dependencies
- Virus datasets from various settings and conditions along with metadata
