Project description

The FLURISK project aims to develop and validate an influenza risk assessment framework (IRAF) for the ranking of animal influenza A strains in their potential to move from an animal species and cause human infection. The model is not a prediction tool and will not provide a definitive indication of what the next pandemic strain(s) will be.
