what is bird flu?!


Question:

Answers:
Bird flu, or avian flu, is an influenza type generally carried by birds. The H5N1 strain is the virulent strain that has caused many countries to cull birds in an attempt to stop its spread. Luckily, this strain does not pass easily from bird to human, but if it mutates that will be another story. The main concern is that the bird flu will jump species from birds to swine. Swine flu is easily caught by people and is more likely to become a worldwide pandemic.
