What are the signs of avian influenza in domestic birds?
In domestic poultry, infection with avian influenza causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The low pathogenic form may go undetected and usually only causes mild disease. However, the high pathogenic form spreads more rapidly through flocks. This form can affect multiple internal organs and results in the death of virtually all infected birds usually within 48 hours.
