This document discusses Avian Influenza (H5N1), also known as bird flu. Some key points:
- It is a virus that primarily affects birds but can infect other animals and humans. It is highly pathogenic and mutates rapidly.
- The virus was first detected in humans in 1997 in Hong Kong. It has since spread across Asia and parts of Europe and Africa.
- Transmission is usually from direct or indirect contact with infected birds. People working with poultry are at high risk.
- Symptoms in humans include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. There is no current vaccine though control measures try to limit spread between countries.
