Risk maps developed for human infection by another, well-established avian flu virus H5n1 may help to target H7n9 surveillance and control efforts.

with light yellow representing lowest risk, and darker areas higher risk (risk-map source: ref. 1).(This is a large map

Although the risk factors for the spread of H7n9 are known not, voluminous research on its cousin,
although the risk factors for H7n9 may be given different the current dearth of information, H5n1 risk maps are probably a good starting point for identifying areas most at risk.
Indeed, when human cases of H7n9 are overlaid on a risk map that Marius and his co-authors supplied to Nature,
they seem to fall within the highest risk areas for H5n1. The map suggests that high-risk areas for H7n9 might include Shandong province
(which reported its first case on 23 april) and a belt extending around the Bohai Sea to Liaoning province in the north.
Such information could also be used to help to modify farming and trade practices to reduce the risk of human exposure to the virus. As more is learned about H7n9,
The resulting maps and data may give an idea of where the zones of immediate highest risk worldwide might be.
