Avian influenza, also known as avian flu or bird flu, is a disease caused by the influenza A virus, which can infect both birds and people. It is similar to other types of animal flu in that it is caused by a virus strain that has adapted to a specific host. The type with the greatest risk is highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
