Spatio-temporal model of avian influenza spread risk
Poster communication in 1st Conference on Spatial Statistics 2011
HPAI virus has caused significant economic losses in the poultry industry. Backyard and outdoor poultry farms (BOPF) can play an important role in the spread of the disease. A spatio-temporal model has been developed to identify areas and periods at higher risk of HPAI spread in BOPF and applied on a Spanish region.

Una avutarda correteando por el barrio Salamanca
New post published in SEVEMUR Blog
Se pasean sin ningún tipo de miramiento, no es que sean presumidas, es que les va la vida en ello. Esta vez, no se trataba de un desfile nupcial a modo de cortejo para encontrar una potencial pareja, sino que sin saber muy bien el momento exacto en que llegó, ni la razón de su visita a la gran ciudad, una avutarda se postró en un jardín de una comunidad de vecinos, en el distrito de Salamanca.
