Seasonal Patterns in Human A (H5N1) Virus Infection: Analysis of Global Cases

Abstract: BackgroundHuman cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A (H5N1) have high mortality. Despite abundant data on seasonal patterns in influenza epidemics, it is unknown whether similar patterns exist for human HPAI H5N1 cases worldwide. Such knowledge could help decrease avian-to-human transmission through increased prevention and control activities during peak periods.MethodsWe performed a systematic search of published human HPAI H5N1 cases to date, collecting month, year, country, season, hemisphere… Show more

“…The GLMM model indicated a negative association; similar to what was found by studies in China [ 51 ] and in the Red River Delta [ 53 ]. A global study of human cases also found occurrence to be higher under drier conditions [ 74 ]. Generally, the role of precipitation was found to be far more significant in the deltas than for the country as a whole.…”

“…Furthermore, Asia and North Africa's low temperature in winter with cold and dry weather (especially January and February) increase poultry outbreaks and H5N1 transmission, this lead increase of human infection. [15][16][17][18][19]. Increasing the incidence of human cases in Egypt in second decade and unique increase incidence since November 2014 [20][21][22], can be regarded to mixture of some factors, including lower public health awareness of risks in Egypt and seasonal factors like cold weather and possible longer survival of the viruses in the environment [23].…”
