  5. Two clinical types of avian influenza occur in poultry: a low-pathogenicity form (LPAI), as subclinical infections, respiratory disease, or decreased egg production; and a high-pathogenicity form (HPAI), as severe systemic disease with multiple organ failure and high mortality rates.

  6. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is rapidly fatal for poultry. Sudden onset of HPAI and high death rates are common among all poultry (except ducks and geese). In chickens, HPAI signs often include respiratory (gasping) and digestive (extreme diarrhea) signs followed by rapid death.

  7. However, avian influenza A viruses are very contagious among birds, and some of these viruses can sicken and even kill certain domesticated bird species, including chickens, ducks and turkeys. Infected birds can shed avian influenza A viruses in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

  8. TREATMENT. There is no effective treatment for AI.

Recovered flocks will continue to shed the virus. Vaccines may be used only with a special permit.
