Question 7

what causes avian flu?

Accepted Answer

Influenza virus: There are many strains (family members) of influenza virus all over the world.  Some strains affect animals and others humans.  When a strain that "normally" infects animals develops the ability to infect humans, that is potentially dangerous because humans may have never had to fight off (become immune to) that strain.  The "avian flu strains" come from birds.  Swine flu strains came from pigs.

Question 8

what are the risk factors for avian flu?

Accepted Answer

Birds: Avian flu is caused by influenza viruses that mostly live in certain types of birds and make them sick.  Very rarely such strains of flu virus will infect humans and make them sick. When such strains are found, the bird flock is usually killed. The area of the world, the person's nearness to sick birds and the strength of the person's immune system are all important factors in a person's risk.

Question 9

why are pigs always the ones to get the regular flu and avian flu?  why does everyone pick on the little pigs?

Accepted Answer

Pigs and immunity: Pigs have similar immune responses to people and they tend to get a similar response to the influenza virus.  The more complicated answer includes how people and pigs interact, especially in parts of the world where avian flu and swine flu intersect with human flu.  The cdc website has more information on this. www.cdc.gov.
