Avian influenza is the most serious known health threat facing the
world. An infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the
influenzavirus. The virus mainly affects the birds but can also infect humans.
Among the few subtypes that have infected humans, H5N1 is the most
dangerous one.
The virus has high mutation rate (as all RNA viruses) and thus can
escape immune defense. Conditions for transmission and jumping species
barriers are ideal where poultry, ducks, pigs, and humans live in crowded
conditions. Our great concern is human- to- human transmission which
poses an imminent threat of a global pandemic.
Proper acurrate and early diagnosis will be helpful. Prevention and
control measures will help greatly in overcoming this coming threat
