I have dealt with HPAI issues for many years, both in the field and laboratory settings. It is a devastating disease, but luckily has not entrenched itself in Kenya, despite the country being in the path of the southern migratory route.

Most farmers will sundry their products, which more often than not get wet due to unexpected showers.Your book is most welcome.
