Origins and Background:
Bird Flu is caused by the Influenza A virus, which belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. There are several subtypes of the Influenza A virus, classified based on the combination of two surface proteins: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). The most common subtypes found in birds are H5 and H7.
Avian Influenza viruses are naturally present in wild aquatic birds, such as ducks and geese, which act as reservoirs for the virus. These birds can carry the virus without showing any symptoms, allowing it to spread to other bird species, including domestic poultry.
