About this dataset

Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, is a zoonotic viral disease that primarily affects poultry but can occasionally spill over to mammals, including humans and swine. Notable subtypes of influenza type A viruses include H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1. The typical incubation period for avian influenza in humans ranges from 3 to 5 days and can extend to 7 to 10 days. Management of avian influenza cases is similar to that of influenza caused by primary human influenza viruses. While vaccines against the A(H5N1) virus have been developed and approved in multiple countries, their availability remains limited, and decisions on usage depend on infection risk assessments. Source-supported facts: Avian influenza (AI), also known as bird flu, is a zoonotic viral disease that primarily affects poultry and may occasionally spill over to mammals, including humans and swine. Management of a case with avian influenza is similar to that of influenza due to a primary human influenza virus. The availability of vaccines against the A(H5N1) virus remains limited, with decisions on usage dependent on infection risk assessments.

Avian influenza (AI), also known as bird flu, is a zoonotic viral disease that primarily affects poultry and may occasionally spillover to mammals, including humans and swine. Influenza type A viruses are classified into subtypes based on Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase proteins. Notable examples include H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, etc. All known subtypes of influenza A viruses can infect birds, except subtypes A(H17N10) and A(H18N11), which have only been found in bats. Further, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) subtypes like H5 and H7 are known to cause greater than 75% mortality in chicken farms. However, classification of viral strains as High PAI or Low PAI does not indicate disease severity in humans. Avian influenza (AI), subtype H5N1 has zoonotic significance, posing major risks to public health and poultry worldwide. It is known to undergo rapid mutations and acquire genes from viruses that infect other animal species.	0	factual	1.0	https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/glimpse_pdfs/1770282217_CD-Alert-Avian-Influenza-H5N1.pdf	Avian influenza (AI), also known as bird flu, is a zoonotic viral disease that primarily affects poultry and may occasionally spillover to mammals, including humans and swine.
