Bird Flu in Bird and Human: Bird flu, or avian influenza, is a contagious viral disease that primarily affects birds but can also infect humans in rare cases. In birds, it causes symptoms like sudden death, respiratory distress, and drop in egg production. In humans, infection usually occurs through close contact with infected birds and can lead to severe flu-like symptoms, pneumonia, and even death. Controlling bird flu involves culling infected birds, improving farm hygiene, monitoring outbreaks, and using antiviral drugs in humans.
