Abstract

Influenza A viruses cause different diseases in mammals and birds. While the clinical manifestations of influenza virus infection in mammals is virtually always a result of localized infection of the respiratory tract epithelium, the clinical disease in birds infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses is commonly associated with systemic infection and death. The majority of avian influenza viruses, however, induce asymptomatic infection which is restricted to local sites in mucous membranes frequently in the gut and the respiratory tract.
