Target
Avian influenza refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are classified into two categories: low pathogenic (LPAI) and high pathogenic (HPAI) viruses, which are defined by their pathogenicity in domestic poultry.The internal proteins like nucleoprotein (NP) and matrix proteins (M) are more conserved between different influenza A viruses. Most AIV are of the low pathogenic type and typically cause little or no clinical signs. Once an H5 or H7 LPAI virus has been transmitted to chickens or turkeys, it has the potential to become an HPAI virus.
