Hosts of H5N1

July 3, 2014/in Pandemic threats /by studioplum_eswi

Wild birds are the natural hosts of influenza A viruses. In principle, all subtypes of influenza A viruses can be found in them. Typically, little or no disease is caused by infection of wild birds with these avian influenza viruses, which are therefore called low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses. However, when LPAI viruses of […]
