Relevance of the synergy of surveillance and populational networks in understanding the Usutu virus outbreak within common blackbirds (Turdus merula) in Metropolitan France, 2018 by Bouchez-Zacria, Malika, Calenge, Clément, Villers, Alexandre, Lecollinet, Sylvie, Gonzalez, Gaelle, Quintard, Benoit, Leclerc, Antoine, Baurier, Florence, Paty, Marie-Claire, Faure, Éva, Eraud, Cyril, Decors, Anouk

“…In addition, common blackbird populations could be monitored through another network (REZOP). Statistical analysis (spatial, temporal, spatiotemporal and environmental determinants) of the SAGIR and AFVPZ network data helped to highlight the early appearance of separate large clusters of USUV cases in mid-July 2018, the subsequent diffusion into smaller and secondary clusters at the end of August 2018, and a meanwhile enlargement of the first clusters with an increase in the number of cases. …”
