Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, has a rich history dating back to its initial identification in Italy in 1878. This highly contagious disease is caused by viruses that primarily target avian species, including domestic poultry such as chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowls, as well as a wide range of other bird species. The virus can also be found in wild aquatic birds, which often serve as natural reservoirs for the disease. Furthermore, avian influenza can affect not only birds but also other animal species, highlighting the complex nature of this viral infection. The disease’s ability to spread across different species underscores the importance of understanding its causes, transmission dynamics, and potential impacts on animal and human health.
