RFI: computer modeling of avian flu outbreak

For those interested in the computer modeling of avian flu and with avaliable below data, please contact NIH/MIDAS project

MIDAS is studying social networks - how people interact with each other - and the spread of infections.  Our goal is to see what interventions could contain or eliminate an outbreak.  Our most serious need in modeling is numerical data about family size, social interactions of people, movements of people, where avian flu has been identified, where human cases occur, and so on.  If you know of any sources of this data, it would be helpful.
