Avian Influenza

Avian Influenza is and infection caused by avian (Bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These influenza viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines but usually do not get sick from them. However, avian influenza is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks and turkeys, very sick and kill them.

Infected birds shed influenza virus in their saliva, nasal secretions and feces, susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated secretions or excretions or with surfaces that contaminated  with secretions or excretions from infected birds. Domesticated birds may become infected with avian influenza virus though direct contact with infected waterfowl or other infected poultry, or through contact with surfaces (such as dirt or cages), or materials (such as water or feed) that have been contaminated with virus.

Infection with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes virulence. The low pathogenic from may go undetected and usually causes only mild symptoms (such as ruffled feathers and a drop in egg production). however, the highly pathogenic form spreads more rapidly through flocks of poultry. This form may cause disease that affects multiple internal organs and has a mortality rate that can reach 90-100% often within 48 hours.

The team found four new species of butterflies, twenty new species of frogs and a whole series of remarkable plants including five new palms and a gaint rhododeldron flower. The survey also found honey-eater bird that was previously unknown to science and the first new bird species discovered on the island of New Guinea since 1939.
