<br/><br/> Avian influenza is a bird disease that may occasionally infect other animals and man.  In recent years, a strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has arisen in the Far East (Asian HPAI H5N1) and spread steadily across Asia, Africa and Europe. This report outlines our current understanding of the behaviour and risks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and in particular Asian HPAI H5N1. It presents the scientific information behind our decisions and our advice in the event of an outbreak in the bird population, but does not address the wider human health issues of, for example, a possible human influenza pandemic.
