Step 1
Avian influenza, or bird flu, primarily spreads among birds. However, it can sometimes infect humans who have close contact with infected birds. The main transmission routes from birds to humans include direct contact with infected birds, inhalation of aerosols Show more…

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. Avian influenza is a viral infection with few damaging effects that naturally occurs in wild birds. However, avian influenza is highly contagious and can quickly kill domesticated birds. Some human influenza viruses are similar to the avian influenza. People infected with avian influenza develop typical flu symptoms (fever, cough, muscle aches). However, symptoms may become more severe and life-threatening. If avian influenza evolves into a form that is easily transmissible from person to person, a global pandemic of widespread human death might occur. Which cells would be active during an immune response to a viral infection

An avann influenza virus of type HISNI has recently evolved a "high pathogenicity" (hp) strain that causes severe illiness in most wild birus (except ducks) as well as in dorncstic poultry. A few bumans have becn infected. The World Health Oryanization (WHO) currently inspects every human case with particular attention to how the putictits contracted the virus. Why is this virus a cause for concems, and why are WHO officials so intentested in cach paticnt's source of infection?
Which of the following best describes the epidemiologic transmission and reservoir classifications of Influenza viruses? Contact and Humans Contact and Airborne and Humans Contact and Humans and Animals Contact, Airborne, Humans, and Animals
