Bird Flu Statistics


Avian bird flu is sometimes referred to as avian flu, or more commonly bird flu. It refers to the influenza virus that is adapted to birds, rather than humans. Specifically, the H5N1 subtype of the avian influenza is currently a popular topic of discussion in the media, due to prediction by experts that a potential pandemic is around the corner. However, there is little evidence to show that H5N1 influenza can be passed from human-to-human contact. However, irrespective of this there have been 412 cases of human infection, 62% of whom died from the virus. As a result, many believe that the world is teetering on the edge of a pandemic, capable of wiping out a large percentage of the global population.

Notes: Total number of cases includes number of deaths. The WHO reports only laboratory-confirmed cases.

The above table only includes a small fraction of countries affected by bird flu. The total number of cases and deaths is a lot higher. The H5N1 virus has resulted in the death of tens of millions of poultry, and the culling of hundreds of millions more, in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. H5N1 is dangerous because of its ability to spread between animals very quickly. Birds commonly migrate to and from different areas depending on the season, facilitating the spread of the virus. Currently, it is not easily caught or spread between humans, but the devastating effect it has caused on wildlife has caused governments to consider a contingency plan.
