Description:
A man carries chickens outside of a market in Beira. The illegal transport of chickens is an important source of the spread of livestock diseases, something we can study by collecting specimens of chickens. From the other samples collected on expeditions like this one, we can also learn if those diseases can be shared with wild birds.
