Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious viral infection of wild and domestic birds worldwide. Avian influenza viruses are classified as low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) or highly pathogenic (HPAI), based on their pathogenicity in domestic chickens.
Exclusion biosecurity strategies to prevent the introduction of avian influenza into poultry are the best preventive measure. Suspected outbreaks should be reported to appropriate regulatory authorities. Antigenically matched and properly administered vaccines can prevent AI infections, clinical signs, and death.

Abstract. Avian influenza (AI) is a contagious disease among the poultry population with high avian mortality, which generates significant economic losses and elevated costs for disease control and outbreak eradication. AI is caused by an RNA virus part of the Orthomyxoviridae family; however, only Influenzavirus A is capable of infecting birds.
This chapter focuses on the global phenomenon of avian influenza, its impact on the poultry industry, and potential means to control influenza transmission among birds and mammals.
