This category is for sites about avian or bird flu, a viral disease of birds. Even the highly pathogenic strain H5N1 is overwhelmingly a disease that affects birds. Nearly all the small number of humans who have become infected were poultry workers who came into intimate contact with birds. Influenza viruses are constantly changing, and they might adapt over time to infect and spread among humans.
