Project details
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a pathogen that causes significant economic and welfare issues for the poultry industry. In addition, there is the additional concern that avian influenza strains may be able to cross the species barrier and infect humans. Increasing our knowledge about AIV is fundamental to devising practical and effective control strategies for AIV in avian species.
