PREAMBLE
Praise be to God Almighty for His grace and mercy , so that we can complete a
paper on Avian Influenza.
We thanks all those who have helped in completing this paper , particularly our
lecturers who has guided us to this paper resolved .
We realize this paper is far from perfect becouse of that ,criticisms and suggestions
from readers so we need to repair this paper . And hopefully this paper can be useful for us
and readers

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
AVIAN FLU
2.1 Definition
Avian Inluenza (AI) is disease caused by virus influenza can affect several species
of food producing birds (chickens, turkeys, quails, guinea fowl, etc.), as well as pet birds
and wild birds with some strains resulting in high mortality rates. The virus has also been
isolated from mammalian species including humans, rats and mice, weasels and ferrets,
pigs, cats, tigers and dogs.
2.2 Etiology
Avin Influenza caused by virus influenza type A , genus influenzavirus A and
family Orthomyxoviridae. These viruses are also called type A influenza viruses.
Influenza A viruses are classified into subtypes based on two surface proteins, the
hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). A virus that has a type 1 HA and type 2
NA, for example, would have the subtype H1N2. At least 16 hemagglutinins (H1 to
H16), and 9 neuraminidases (N1 to N9) have been found in viruses from birds, while two
additional HA and NA types have been identified, to date, only in bats.2,6,12,58-60
Some hemagglutinins, such as H14 and H15, seem to be uncommon, or perhaps are
maintained in wild bird species or locations that are not usually sampled.
Avian Influenza classified two types based on ability to produce the disease are
Lower pathogenic (also called low pathogenicity) avian influenza (LPAI) and highly
pathogenic (high pathogenicity) avian influenza viruses (HPAI). HPAI viruses usually
cause severe disease in chicken and turkey flocks, while LPAI infections are generally
much milder in all avian species (Fowl Plague, Grippe Aviaire).
2.3 Epiemiology
Avian influenza viruses are shed in the feces and respiratory secretions of birds,
although the relative amount of virus can vary with the specific virus, host species and
other factors. The feces contain large amounts of virus in aquatic birds such as
waterfowl, and the fecal-oral route is thought to predominate in wild bird reservoirs.
Fecal-cloacal transmission might also be possible, but respiratory transmission is
ordinarily thought to play little or no role. However, there are some exceptions. Some
viruses that have adapted to gallinaceous poultry, such as recent isolates of Asian lineage
H5N1 HPAI viruses, can be found in higher quantities in respiratory secretions than the
feces, even in wild waterfowl. There are also reports of a few LPAI viruses found mainly
in respiratory swabs from wild waterfowl, and respiratory spread might be important in
some wild terrestrial birds.
Once an avian influenza virus has entered a poultry flock, it can spread on the farm
by both the fecal–oral route and aerosols, due to the close proximity of the birds. Fomites
can be important in transmission, and flies may act as mechanical vectors. The
possibility of wind-borne transmission of HPAI viruses between farms was suggested by
one study, but has not been conclusively demonstrated. Avian influenza viruses have also
been found in the yolk and albumen of eggs from chickens, turkeys and quail infected
with HPAI viruses. Although infected eggs are unlikely to hatch, broken eggs could
transmit the virus to other chicks in the incubator. It might be possible for LPAI viruses
to be shed in eggs, but the current evidence suggests this is very rare, if it occurs at all.
How long birds remain contagious differs between avian species, and with the
severity of the infection (chickens and turkeys infected with HPAI viruses die very soon
after infection). Most chickens usually excrete LPAI viruses for a week, and a minority
of the flock for up to two weeks, but individual birds of some species, including
waterfowl, can shed some LPAI or HPAI viruses for a few weeks in the laboratory.
- cough
- Fever
- sore throat
- body aches
Most patients have symptoms in the lower respiratory tract when they first
seek treatment. Clinical reports show that difficulty in breathing develops around
five days following the first symptoms. Respiratory distress, a hoarse voice, and a
crackling sound when inhaling are commonly seen. Sputum production is variable
and sometimes bloody. Most recently, blood-tinted respiratory secretions have been
observed in Turkey. Almost all patients develop viral pneumonia. Home caregivers,
healthcare personnel, and funeral service professionals have been urged to use full
infectious disease protections and exercise extreme caution around infected patients
or when disposing of those who do not survive.
B. Symtoms in animal
2.6 Diagnosis
Infected birds are detected by virus isolation from cloacal swabs in embryonated
chicken eggs, and by serological testing of blood for antibody. The last test indicates that
a bird was exposed to these viruses rather than if it is infected or carries the disease.
Reference antisera to all of the subtype antigen combinations are used to determine the
identity of the virus; however, the virulence of a virus cannot be determined by the
antigenic subtype. Virulent and avirulent strains of the same subtype can circulate in
nature. Laboratory and animal inoculation tests are required to establish the virulence of
strains based on an index established for domestic birds.
2.7 Treatment
There is no specific treatment for influenza virus infections in animals. Poultry
flocks infected with HPAI viruses are depopulated (this is generally mandatory in HPAI-
free countries), while the disposition of infected LPAI flocks may differ, depending on
the specific virus and the country.
2.8 Prevention
The risk of introducing a virus to poultry or other birds can be reduced by good
biosecurity and hygiene, which includes preventing any contact with other domesticated
or wild birds, mechanical vectors and fomites including water sources.4,5,46,79,462 All-
in/ all-out flock management is helpful in poultry flocks, and birds should not be
returned to the farm from live bird markets or other slaughter channels.4 To help prevent
reassortment between human and avian influenza viruses, people are encouraged to avoid
contact with birds while suffering flu symptoms.
Avian influenza vaccines may include both inactivated whole virus vaccines and
newer recombinant vectored vaccines. Most vaccines are produced for chickens,
although they may be validated for use in turkeys, and their effectiveness can differ in
other species. In addition to suppressing clinical signs, some vaccines are capable of
increasing resistance to infection, and decreasing virus excretion and transmission.
However, clinical protection is not necessarily correlated with reduced virus shedding,
and some birds can become infected even in the best case scenario. Thus, vaccination can
mask infections if good surveillance programs are not used simultaneously. Vaccination
can also place selection pressures on influenza viruses, which may encourage the
emergence of vaccine-resistant isolates. In different countries, vaccines may be used
routinely to protect poultry flocks, as an adjunct control measure during an outbreak, or
to protect valuable species such as zoo birds from highly virulent viruses such as H5N1.
Vaccination in the U.S. is restricted and requires the approval of the state veterinarian,
and in the case of H5 and H7 vaccines, USDA approval.

Influenza caused by virus influenza type A , genus influenzavirus A and family

secretions of birds, although the relative amount of virus can vary with the specific virus,
host species and other factors. Reported symptoms of avian influenza A, subtype H5N1,
in humans range from the typical flu-like discomforts: cough, Fever, sore throat and
body aches. Most zoonotic infections caused by Asian lineage H5N1 HPAI viruses seem
to become apparent within approximately 5 days, although the incubation period for
some cases may be as long as 8 and possibly 17 days.
