Bird flu, or avian influenza, infects more than 100 species of wild birds. It is rare for these strains of influenza to infect humans, although there are increasing reports of bird flu cases in other mammals such as tigers, polar bears, elephants, seals, mink, and pet dogs and cats. In birds, it causes a respiratory illness that is categorized as either highly pathogenic or low pathogenic. Pathogenicity relates to how sick the infected animal is, and highly pathogenic avian influenza has the ability to spread beyond the respiratory tract to infect multiple organs, often resulting in death in birds within 48 hours.

“Right now, there isn’t a need for the general public to be vaccinated against monkeypox, but we shouldn’t underestimate the potential impact of this virus, especially among the immunocompromised. Containing its spread will require an all-hands-on-deck public health response,” he says.
