Avian Influenza

Avian influenza is a viral infection that affects birds.
Avian influenza viruses can be divided into two types: low pathogenic and highly pathogenic.
Avian influenza viruses are spread through contact with infected birds or their droppings, or through contact with surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus.
The symptoms of avian influenza vary depending on the strain of virus, but can include fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
Avian influenza can be treated with antiviral medications, but there is no vaccine available.
Prevention of avian influenza includes good hygiene practices and prompt treatment of any sick birds.
