Avian Influenza Fact Sheet
Avian influenza (AI) is a disease caused by one of several subtypes of the influenza A virus. Wild, primarily aquatic birds serve as the natural host for this virus – hence, the name avian influenza (Alexander, 2000). The viruses that cause AI are highly contagious among birds and can be deadly, particularly among domesticated birds like turkeys and chickens (CDC, 2005a).
