Re: Maplecroft's Avian Influenza Risk analysis-maps & charts

their AIRI-country numbers, when were they updated ?
could someone get a list with the countries and their actual AIRIs ?

would also be interested to see, how/whether this changed from the last update

Re: Maplecroft's Avian Influenza Risk analysis-maps & charts

According to the site - at link provided, last update was March 2, 2007. However, the data is not current as of that date by my quick check. For instance, Egypt cases were last updated Jan 22nd.


I think this answers your question about the AIRI list. Don't know the last date of last update.

Re: Maplecroft's Avian Influenza Risk analysis-maps &amp; charts

Here is info from a recent article:

The map of Risk of Spread shows the United Kingdom most at risk to the spread of an influenza pandemic, ranking number 1 out of 213 countries.

The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Russia, Canada and Japan are also categorised as extreme risk because of their high population density, urbanisation and busy airports.

Even though the UK and other developed Western nations are at extreme risk of spread, their capacity to contain influenza pandemics ranks low risk. Large stockpiling of drugs and a sophisticated health infrastructure, which the Capacity to Contain index captures, means they have very effective measures with which to fight human influenza.

Sub-Saharan Africa stands out as the area least able to contain pandemic influenza with 27 out of the 30 most extreme risk countries. The capacity of a country to contain the spread of human influenza depends on factors of wealth, health infrastructure, education resources, information and communication networks, and governance.

The Risk of Emergence index unsurprisingly categorises Mexico as extreme risk and ranks the country as fourth most at risk, whilst Vietnam, China and Bangladesh top the table.
