Abstract
Avian Influenza Update - May 2006: 207 human cases, 115 fatalities. HPAI H5N1 virus has been detected in wild birds in Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. SCWDS remains actively involved in several field and laboratory studies investigating the ecology of avian influenza virus (AIV), including both high pathogenicity viruses (HPAI) and low pathogenicity viruses (LPAI). A plan to conduct a survey of avian influenza (AI) viruses in wild birds in Canada was developed late in 2004 by the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre (CCWHC) in consultation with a wide range of federal and provincial government agencies with responsibilities for wildlife management, domestic animal health, and public health. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information on the range of influenza Avian Flu Virus in Mammals: The results of natural and experimental infections of mammals with HPAI H5N1 are indicators of the broad species susceptibility to this virus and the need for vigilance in monitoring HPAI H5N1 virus. West Nile virus (WNV): Since the virus was first detected in New York in 1999, 19,655 human cases have been reported in the United States, resulting in 782 deaths. WNV transmission to humans has been documented by five routes: mosquito bites, blood transfusions, organ transplantation, transplacental transfer, and breastfeeding. National Fish and Wildlife Health Initiative Parvovirus was confirmed as the cause of mortality in a young raccoon submitted to SCWDS in January. Dr. Michael J. Yabsley has accepted an offer to fill the vacancy created by the recent retirement of Dr. William Randolph Davidson. Dr. John Fischer was promoted from Associate Professor to Professor and was awarded tenure; Dr. Joseph Corn was elevated from Public Service Assistant to Public Service Associate; and Dr. Danny Mead was advanced from Assistant Research Scientist to Associate Research Scientist. An anonymous donor recently contributed $100,000 to the Southeastern Wildlife Health Development Fund!

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
