		Avian influenza is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses.
		Infection with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence.
		During an outbreak of avian influenza among poultry, there is a possible risk to people who have contact with infected birds or surfaces that have been contaminated with secretions or excretions from infected birds.

	EUROPA - Animal Health & Welfare - Animal Diseases - Avian Influenza - Introduction
		Avian Influenza (AI) or "Bird Flu" is a highly contagious viral infection which can affect all species of birds and can manifest itself in different ways depending mainly on the ability of the virus involved to cause disease (pathogenicity) and on the species affected.
		Disease notification of all cases of low and high pathogenic avian influenza must be reported by the Member States to the European Commission and to the World Organisation for Animal Health.

	AVIAN INFLUENZA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Avian influenza (AI) is a disease of viral etiology that ranges from a mild or even asymptomatic infection to an acute, fatal disease of chickens, turkeys, guinea fowls, and other avian species, especially migratory waterfowl (1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11).
		The infection of humans with an H5 avian influenza virus in Hong Hong in 1997 has resulted in a reconsideration of the role of the avian species in the epidemiology of human influenza.
		The presence of facial edema, swollen and cyanotic combs and wattles, and petechial hemorrhages on internal membrane surfaces increases the likelihood that the disease is HPAI.

	Avian Influenza
		Many influenza A viruses occur naturally in wild birds, primarily shore birds and waterfowl and are known as avian influenza or “bird flu”.
		When people are infected with both human and avian influenza strains the viruses can trade genetic material, which can result in a strain that causes severe human illness and is easily transmitted from person-to-person.
		Because humans have been infected with H5N1 avian influenza there is concern that conditions are right for creating a strain capable of causing a worldwide outbreak among humans.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Simulations versus the Avian Flu
		If an Avian Flu pandemic hits, we might see global deaths in the hundreds of millions, along with the long-term cessation of travel, massive reduction of trade, abandonment of environmental and development efforts, and the conflict that such chaos would unleash.
		So far, none of the human cases of Avian Flu have evolved into a version that could be readily transmissible from human to human.
		The massive reduction in population that could result from a serious pandemic would not mean a reduction in resource footprints or environmental impact -- people who are desperate for survival do not give much thought to the long-term implications of their actions for the planet or for "nature" as a whole.
