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

Bird flu.

Think of cancer, of bird flu, swine flu, SARS.

A bird adapted strain of H5N1, called HPAI A(H5N1) for highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of type A of subtype H5N1, is the highly pathogenic causative agent of H5N1 flu, commonly known as avian influenza ( bird flu ).

We tried it against flu A viruses H1N1, H3N2 as well as flu B viruses.

We tried it against flu A viruses H1N1, H3N2 as well as flu B viruses.

That's the sound of genetic mutations of the avian flu becoming a deadly human flu.

It was before the avian flu had reached Europe.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, also known as A(H5N1) or simply H5N1, is a subtype of the influenza A virus which can cause illness in humans and many other animal species.

The deadly dozen diseases include avian flu, cholera, Ebola, Lyme disease, tuberculosis, and yellow fever.

One strain of HPAI A(H5N1) is spreading globally after first appearing in Asia.

Many references to bird flu and H5N1 in the popular media refer to this strain.

H10N7 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus (sometimes called bird flu virus).

So when you see this process of every year there is a new flu virus, that is evolution and natural selection in real time. It is happening!

H3N8 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus that is endemic in birds, horses and dogs.

In 2003, we had an H5N1 virus that jumped from birds into humans in a few isolated cases with an apparent mortality rate of 70 percent.

So this, swine flu pink.

Hotweather colds can kill you.

In some cases, and in fact in most cases in one year, this flu was caused by a new virus to us, or newly identified by us, called Israeli Acute Paralysis virus.

There's that dip there for the 1918 flu.

At least 53 types of H5N1 bird flu viruses have appeared in chickens and people there, according to the World Health Organization.

The spread of H5N1 and its likely reintroduction to domestic poultry increase the need for good agricultural vaccines.

Developers around the world have come up with an amazing variety of ways to layer useful data on top of the maps, from bus routes and crime statistics to the global progress of avian flu.

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

We recently saw a case where some researchers made the H5N1 avian influenza virus more potent.

As University of Ottawa virologist Earl Brown put it after a Canadian outbreak of avian influenza, high intensity chicken rearing is a perfect environment for generating virulent avian flu viruses.

Swineflu outbreak.

Even in the times of H1N1, I like the word.

It mimics what we now understand about reconstructing the 1918 flu virus, the last great pandemic, in that it also jumped directly from birds to people.

The birds!

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.

World leaders have met to prohibit incitement to terrorism, pledge money to support democracy and discuss the threat of HIV AIDS, malaria and bird flu.

This has happened in the Netherlands in the 1990s during the classical swine fever outbreak.

So a nice example of this came from last year and swine flu.

When swine flu first appeared, the initial news caused a lot of overreaction.

Birds sing.
