When we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one from nature, not humans - an avian flu pandemic.

WHAT DOES AVIAN FLU MEAN IN ENGLISH?

avian flu

Avian influenza

Avian influenza — known informally as avian flu or bird flu — refers to "influenza caused by viruses adapted to birds." The version with the greatest concern is highly pathogenic avian influenza. "Bird flu" is a phrase similar to "swine flu," "dog flu," "horse flu," or "human flu" in that it refers to an illness caused by any of many different strains of influenza viruses that have adapted to a specific host. All known viruses that cause influenza in birds belong to the species influenza A virus. All subtypes of influenza A virus are adapted to birds, which is why for many purposes avian flu virus is the influenza A virus.. Adaptation is not exclusive. Being adapted toward a particular species does not preclude adaptations, or partial adaptations, toward infecting different species. In this way, strains of influenza viruses are adapted to multiple species, though may be preferential toward a particular host. For example, viruses responsible for influenza pandemics are adapted to both humans and birds.
