Using the recent emergence of avian cholera in the Arctic as a model opportunity, we plan to understand the environmental epidemiology of this disease threat within bird populations and communities, using a much needed integrative approach. We are interested in how environmental variability might influence variation in which individuals and species acquire or succumb to the disease, since environmental attributes will differ depending on migration routes and timing, as well as variation in exposure to extreme weather events as indexed by phenomena such as the North Atlantic Oscillation. We are particularly interested in the effects of this disease on an exploited waterfowl species, the northern common eider. Building on the information

利用最近出现的禽霍乱在北极作为一个模型的机会，我们计划了解这种疾病的威胁在鸟类种群和社区的环境流行病学，使用急需的综合方法。我们感兴趣的是，环境的变化可能会影响个人和物种获得或死于疾病的变化，因为环境属性将根据迁移路线和时间而有所不同，以及暴露于极端天气事件的变化，如北大西洋涛动现象。我们特别感兴趣的是这种疾病对一种被利用的水禽品种，北方普通绒鸭的影响。在信息的基础上
