Bird-Area Water-Bodies Dataset (BAWD) and Predictive AI Model for Avian Botulism Outbreak (AVI-BoT). (arXiv:2105.00924v2 [q-bio.QM] UPDATED)

Avian botulism is a paralytic bacterial disease in birds often leading to
high fatality. In-vitro diagnostic techniques such as Mouse Bioassay, ELISA,
PCR are usually non-preventive, post-mortem in nature, and require invasive
sample collection from affected sites or dead birds. In this study, we build a
first-ever multi-spectral, remote-sensing imagery based global Bird-Area
Water-bodies Dataset (BAWD) (i.e. fused satellite images of warm-water
lakes/marshy-lands or similar water-body sites that are important for avian
fauna) backed by on-ground reporting evidence of outbreaks. …
