HANDOUT #2FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONSAvian Influenza in BirdsWhat is Avian Influenza?The disease commonly referred to as “bird flu” is an animalinfection caused by the H5N1 virus. The virus occurs naturallyamong birds. Wild birds carry the virus in their intestines, butusually they do not get sick. But some domesticated birds - likechickens, turkeys and ducks - get very sick and can die from thevirus.Which birds carry the virus?Avian influenza can kill domesticated birds, including chickens,ducks, geese, and turkeys. Traditionally, wild waterfowl andshorebirds have been credited as the sources for the many strainsof avian influenza, but rarely fell ill. The current H5N1 strain hascaused mortality in 40 species of wild birds, including geese,storks, egrets, herons, and falcons, and some mammals.How does it spread?The virus can remain viable in droppings for long periods,spreading among birds and animals through ingestion or inhalationof the droppings. Virus can also be excreted from the eyes, noseand mouth of infected birds. Transmission from flock to flock isusually by humans – avian influenza viruses can be spread bymanure, equipment, vehicles, egg flats, crates, and people whoseclothing or shoes have come in contact with the virus.What are the control measures in birds?The most common practice to contain the spread of the virus isculling of all infected or exposed birds, proper disposal ofcarcasses and the quarantining and rigorous disinfection of farmsand poultry markets. Vaccination has also been used but isimpractical outside commercial settings and the vaccine requiresregular updating. The virus is killed by heat (56 degrees C forthree (3) hours or 60 degrees C for 30 minutes) and commondisinfectants, such as formalin and iodine compounds. Thoroughcooking of any poultry meat will destroy the virus, however, ifpoultry appears sick or is dead do not prepare it for cooking orconsumption. Dispose of the poultry properly.How could avian influenza reach a country?Despite any country's controls, avian influenza could be introducedto poultry through the migration of wild birds, the importation ofdead chickens, the illegal importation of live birds or the entry of aninfected person.1 OF 5AI.COMM: Media Orientation Training Notes 51
