Objectives: Health research that significantly impacts global clinical practice and policy is often published in high-impact factor (IF) medical journals. These outlets play a pivotal role in the worldwide dissemination of novel medical knowledge. However, researchers identifying as women and those affiliated with institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have been largely under-represented in high-IF journals across multiple fields of medicine.

Since 2002, a classification of IFI based on host factors, clinical and radiological features and mycological tests was published for research purpose.
Objectives: These criteria are widely used in clinical practice to identify patients at risk for IFI.
Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the global concern over the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs), particularly their zoonotic and pandemic risks, and their economic implications in Cuba.
- An integrated One Health model was developed to assess the risk of Avian Influenza (AI) introduction and transmission, using detailed parameters related to wildlife, poultry, pigs, and human populations.
- Results pinpointed high-risk areas, particularly in the south-western and eastern parts of Cuba, enabling better-targeted surveillance and enhanced biosecurity measures for managing potential AI outbreaks.
