Understanding the Transmission of Bird Flu: Step-by-Step Guide
Bird flu, or avian influenza, is a viral infection that primarily affects birds, but it can also spread to humans and other animals under certain conditions. The disease is caused by the H5N1 virus (among other strains), which has made headlines due to its potential to cause severe illness in both birds and humans. Understanding how bird flu spreads is crucial for prevention and control, particularly as outbreaks can result in significant public health risks.
In this article, we will explore how bird flu is transmitted, from birds to humans and between birds themselves, as well as prevention methods that can be implemented to reduce the spread of the virus. We will also provide a step-by-step guide for recognizing and preventing bird flu transmission.
