Abstract

This chapter describes the characteristics, pathogenicity and epidemiology of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus spreading from Asia throughout Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Obstacles to eradication are discussed as well as the pandemic potential of highly pathogenic strains that scare scientists and public health agencies. The emergence and spread of highly pathogenic H5N1 virus highlights the need to monitor the circulation of influenza A viruses in a wide range of species.
