Avian influenza or bird flu refers to "influenza caused by viruses
adapted to birds". Of the greatest concern is the highly pathogenic
avian influenza (HPAI). Most human contractions of the avian flu
are a result of either handling dead infected birds or from contact
with infected fluids. In this book, the authors discuss the
molecular evolution, outbreaks and prevention/control of avian
influenza. Topics include the risk assessment of highly pathogenic
avian influenza virus infections through water; biosecurity
measures against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in
free-range flocks and commercial poultry in developing countries;
outbreak control and viral evolution of the highly pathogenic H5N1
avian influenza in Thailand; and the changes in perceptions and
attitudes that were identified in a follow-up survey conducted when
bird flu was not the focus on widespread media coverage in
Australia.
