Many serious diseases such as Ebola virus disease, AIDS, avian influenza, and SARS are caused by viruses.

He therefore welcomed the appointment of a United Nations System Senior Coordinator for Avian and Human Influenza.

Today, it is a potential avian virus similar to the one that killed 30 million people after 1914.

Thus, under the circumstances of food chain disruption previously mentioned, non avian dinosaurs died, while some crocodiles survived.

If all this turmoil weren t enough, the discovery of avian flu in the northern provinces further undermines political stability.

More than half of Venezuelan avian and mammalian species are found in the Amazonian forests south of the Orinoco.

H7N9 is a bird flu strain of the species Influenza virus A (avian influenza virus or bird flu virus).

The spectre of avian flu threatens parts of Asia and Europe and the disease could become a global pandemic.

In addition, shocks such as the tsunami disaster and avian influenza can have a significant impact on short term growth.

So, literally, a few minutes before that, I downloaded this scientific paper about calculations on avian defecation, which is really quite interesting, because it turns out you can model this as something called Poiseuille flow, and you can learn an awful lot about the physics of the avian rectum.

The vast majority of avian flu outbreaks in the past four years, in both humans and poultry, have occurred in Indonesia.

New challenges, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and avian influenza, indicate that national borders offer little protection against such proliferating pandemics.

In addition, the Government had a six step prevention programme to both help prevent and contain any possible outbreak of avian flu.

In 2003, it was SARS. Today, it is a potential avian virus similar to the one that killed 30 million people after 1914.

Let me say that the European Community welcomes and strongly supports the initiative of President Bush concerning the looming danger of avian flu's becoming a pandemic.

We called this bird Sinornis. It's a little bit more advanced than Archaeopteryx, and if you go to different layers, you find things that are less advanced than Archaeopteryx, and every grade in between, so that if you find something today, we're usually splitting hairs or, more appropriately, feathers as to decide whether it's actually a non avian or an avian.

Belarus is prepared to join in the partnership initiated by the United States aimed at pooling international efforts for a rapid response in the event of an avian flu pandemic.

So far, a relatively small number of human beings have died from the current strain of avian influenza, and it appears that they have all been in contact with infected birds.

Of paramount importance are improving health services as well as developing regional initiatives to address the prevailing and rapid growth of HIV AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, avian flu, SARS and other communicable diseases.

Biochemist Joe DeRisi talks about amazing new ways to diagnose viruses using DNA. His work may help us understand malaria, SARS, avian flu and the 60 percent of everyday viral infections that go undiagnosed.

Also noting with concern the recent outbreak of avian influenza, recognizing its impact on human health as well as on the economy, and welcoming the Joint Ministerial Statement on the Current Poultry Disease Situation,

One of 17 megadiverse countries, it hosts 8.6 of all mammalian, 13.7 of all avian, 7.9 of all reptilian, 6 of all amphibian, 12.2 of all piscine, and 6.0 of all flowering plant species.

As such, it is a focal point in global concerns of avian influenza (H5N1), as a major outbreak here could spread the virus across Europe and Asia, further increasing the chances of a pandemic.

A special event on Avian flu , organized by the Economic and Social Council, will be held on Thursday, 3 November 2005, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Economic and Social Council Chamber.

And so if we can do that, then we can free up resources for buying drugs that you really do need for treating AIDS and HIV and malaria and for preventing avian flu. Thank you.

On the one hand, Governments are grappling with a number of difficult social and economic issues, including poverty eradication, unemployment, poor education systems, health epidemics (including HIV AIDS and the avian influenza) and environmental degradation.
