Avian Influenza (bird flu) is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them.

Bird flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but several cases of human infection with bird flu viruses have occurred. The death rate for these reported cases has been about 50 percent. It is thought that a few cases of human-to-human spread of H5N1 have occurred.

If the H5N1 virus were able to infect people and spread easily from person to person, an “influenza pandemic” (worldwide outbreak of disease) could begin. No one can predict when a pandemic might occur. However, experts from around the world are watching the H5N1 situation very closely and are preparing for the possibility that the virus may begin to spread more easily and widely from person to person. read more..

An influenza pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when a new influenza A virus appears or “emerges” in the human population, causes serious illness, and then spreads easily from person to person worldwide. Pandemics are different from seasonal outbreaks or “epidemics” of influenza. Seasonal outbreaks are caused by subtypes of influenza viruses that are already in existence among people, whereas pandemic outbreaks are caused by new subtypes or by subtypes that have never circulated among people or that have not circulated among people for a long time. Past influenza pandemics have led to high levels of illness, death, social disruption, and economic loss.

Be prepared: Bird Flu Drugs

There are 4 avian influenza drugs: amantadine and rimantadine which help fight certain strains of H5N1 avian bird flu infections, and Tamiflu® and Relenza® which are both drugs classified as neuraminidase inhibitors and are said to help against most strains of H5N1 virus.
