Since the first case was reported, researchers focused on improving diagnosis, understanding location of origin, and methods of cure; however, little is known about the geographic potential of H7N9 or environmental correlates of its transmission, except Butler [3] and He and Chen [4] , who presented ideas based on lessons from the previous avian influenza threat (i.e. H5N1), and Shi [5] and Fang [6] , who mapped the spread potential of H7N9 using spatial regression method. Effective and predictive risk maps can provide a useful means by which to design targeted surveillance efforts [3] [4] [5] [6] , and ecological niche modeling approaches are offering novel views of the geography of potential for disease transmission [9, 18] . ./cache/cord-340718-amfs4zay.txt ./txt/cord-340718-amfs4zay.txt
