Flying Bird Object Detection Algorithm in Surveillance Video Based on Motion Information [PDF]
A Flying Bird Object Detection algorithm Based on Motion Information (FBOD-BMI) is proposed to solve the problem that the features of the object are not obvious in a single frame, and the size of the object is small (low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)) in surveillance video.

Mathematical Model and Optimal Control of the Transmission Dynamics of Avian Spirochaetosis (TICK Fever) [PDF]
Avian Spirochaetosis is an acute endemic tick-borne disease of birds, caused by Borrelia anserins, a species of Borrelia bacteria. In this paper, we present a compartmental Mathematical model of the disease for the bird population and Tick population. The model so constructed was analyzed using methods from dynamical systems theory.

Evidence for West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus Infections in Wild and Resident Birds in Germany, 2017 and 2018 [PDF]
Wild birds play an important role as reservoir hosts and vectors for zoonotic arboviruses and foster their spread. Usutu virus (USUV) has been circulating endemically in Germany since 2011, while West Nile virus (WNV) was first diagnosed in several bird ...
