Avian Flu Virus
The current Asian outbreak of avian flu, also known
as bird flu, is associated with the influenza A strain
H5N1 flu virus. Although not the same as the Spanish
flu virus that claimed 20 million to 50 million lives
worldwide in the 1918 outbreak, the current avian flu
strain does share many characteristics with the 1918
strain.
