USING A PARTICIPATORY
APPROACH TO
CHARACTERIZE HPAI
OUTBREAKS IN
INDONESIAN VILLAGE
POULTRY

2. Reproduction number (R)
The number of new individuals that will become infected from
a single infected individual
TRANSMISSIBILITY

3. Risk factors
Variables associated with an increased risk for infection
Relative risk
The probability of infection occurring in an exposed group
versus a non-exposed group
RISK

4. Mass vaccination efficacy
study:
One-year mass vaccination
program
Control neighborhoods
Sampling:
16 districts on Java
All H5N1 outbreaks diagnosed
by VS
1-3 randomly selected
outbreaks
Infection tree reconstruction
Susceptible-infected-
recovered (SIR) model
METHODS

5. Affected Neighborhood (RT):
Focus group interview
Mapping
Transect walk
Geo-referencing
1-5 Affected Households:
Individual interview
Timeline
2 Adjacent Neighborhood
Transect walk
Rapid interviews

TIMELINE

10. Commercial poultry
Present in the village in ½ of outbreaks
Involved in only 7.3% of outbreaks
Relative risk for presence in outbreak
household:
Muscovy ducks
Backyard chickens
Broilers
Geese
But not pigeons or ducks!
Top risk factor for introduction: New
bird entry into household flocks
(24.4%)
Top risk factor for spread: Bird
contact between households (73.2%)
RESULTS

11. Within Flock R*
Vaccinated areas: 2.23, 95% credible
interval (1.96-2.51)
Unvaccinated areas: 2.79, 95% CrI
(2.52-3.10)
Vaccination coverage: 11% (5%-19%)
Between Flock R
Vaccinated areas: 1.9, 95 % CrI
(1.59,2.26)
Unvaccinated areas: 2.07, 95% CrI
(1.82,2.35)
Vaccination coverage: 14% (5%-27%)
RESULTS
*decisive according to Jeffrey’s scale
of evidence (Bayes factor (BF)> 100)

12. Backyard poultry on Java provide the
necessary conditions for indefinite
transmission
Level of population immunity necessary to
interrupt transmission:
64.2% (+60.3-67.7%) of birds in household
flocks
51.7% (+41.5-57.4%) of households in
neighborhood
Incidence study: moderate levels of flock
protection reduced HPAI-compatible
disease incidence by 46%
Cost > 1 million USD
PE is a cost effective and simple tool for
assessing the epidemiological impact of
disease control measures
Cost ~ 90,000 USD
