Avian Flu Research

Avian flu research focuses on understanding how the influenza virus infects birds and sometimes humans, how it spreads, and how to prevent or control outbreaks. Scientists study the virus's genetics, behavior, and transmission patterns to develop better vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments. This research helps identify risks of the virus crossing from birds to humans and informs strategies to minimize pandemic threats. Overall, it aims to protect public health and agriculture by deepening our knowledge of the virus's characteristics and behavior.
