Influenza-type viruses currently pose a considerable threat to humanity, as well as to both domestic and wild animals. This project aims to address a significant gap in our knowledge about cultural perceptions towards influenza across different species, particularly horse flu. Through multispecies anthropology, planned outcomes are to gain a greater understanding of cross-species medical knowledge, including insights into cultural heritage, biodiversity and disease resilience through an integrated socio-cultural-ecological approach. Benefits of these new insights into multi-species dynamics will be a greater understanding of viral spread and Mongolian pastoral health practices that may be employed in the prevention of influenza.

流感型病毒目前对人类以及家畜和野生动物构成相当大的威胁。该项目旨在解决我们对不同物种流感（特别是马流感）的文化认知的重大差距。通过多物种人类学，计划的成果是更好地了解跨物种医学知识，包括通过综合的社会文化生态方法深入了解文化遗产，生物多样性和疾病复原力。这些对多物种动态的新见解的好处将是更好地了解病毒传播和蒙古牧民的健康做法，可能用于预防流感。
