Question
What are the symptoms of the disease caused by the avian influenza virus?
Answer
Avian influenza, also known as Bird Flu or Avian Influenza, is an acute infectious disease caused by the avian influenza virus. It can infect both birds and humans. The main symptoms of infection include high fever, cough, runny nose, and muscle pain, with most patients experiencing severe pneumonia. In some cases, avian influenza can lead to failure of multiple organs such as the heart and kidneys, even resulting in death with a relatively high mortality rate. The disease can be transmitted through various routes such as the digestive tract, respiratory tract, skin damage, and conjunctiva. The movement of people and vehicles is an important factor in the transmission of this disease.
