The global bird
flu treatment market is expected to register growth over the
forecast period. Avian influenza (AI), can be commonly known as bird flu. It is
an infectious viral disease of birds. It is generally found in ducks and geese
which live in open rivers. Avian influenza virus can cause infection in poultry
and livestock which may result into an endemic. Avian influenza is an uncommon
disease amongst humans but it can happen due to close contact of humans with
the infected species. A(H5N1) and A(H7N9) are some of the common viruses which
can infect human life severely.
Avian flu viruses are categorized into types
based on their pathogenicity viz high pathogenicity & low pathogenicity.
There is a high probability of risk of transmission of avian flu people working
in poultry or visit virus infected countries, coming in contact with the
infected bird or consuming raw or under cooked meat and eggs.
The A(H5N1) virus subtype, is highly
pathogenic. The virus was reported to be deadly two decades ago and since that
the virus has proliferated to Asia, Europe and Africa and has impacted many
countries massively, yielding tons of poultry infections, several hundred human
cases of severe illness ultimately resulting into death. The A(H7N9) virus
subtype, is much rare and is of a low pathogenicity and its cases are reported
only in East-Asia. Bird flu symptoms are dependent of type of virus infection.
Hence, with the onset of avian flu outbreaks in poultry livelihoods, the
economy and international trade is said to be affected in such countries.
