Bird flu, or avian influenza, is a viral infection that primarily affects birds but can also infect humans and other animals.
The disease is caused by influenza viruses that occur naturally among wild birds, particularly waterfowl. While most strains of bird flu are harmless to humans, certain highly pathogenic forms can lead to severe illness and even death.
The most well-known strain, H5N1, has garnered significant attention due to its potential for transmission to humans and the subsequent impact on public health.
