This open access article in BMC Public Health examines determinants of stunting between 2006 and 2008 in Egyptian children 6 to 59 months of age within the context of a 2006 avian influenza outbreak. There was mass removal of chickens in Lower Egypt as a result of the outbreak, which decreased the household supply of poultry, a key animal-source food that contains nutrients critical for child growth.
