Avian flu
Avian influenza is an animal disease that can occur in poultry, especially chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, but also in other poultry, swans and other wild birds. The official name is therefore "poultry plague".
There are different types of this disease that are different for animals, such as the virus types H5N1 or H7N7. Human transmission is possible in individual cases in the case of intensive contact with infected poultry, but not through the consumption of poultry products, especially when heated.
Since the first case of avian influenza in wild birds in Germany, stricter protection measures have been in place nationwide in infection areas and in so-called risk areas where the transmission of the virus from wild birds to domestic poultry is higher than in other areas.
