Abstract

Since 1997 Hong Kong avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 happened first breakthrough the species barrier to infect human beings and caused death,various human avian influenza cases were reported worldwide,degree of concern about human avian influenza has also reached an unprecedented level.Concerning about the possibility that such an influenza virus might become the next influenza pandemic strain,strengthening of the study in human avian influenza is imperative.This review summarizes the current opinions of avian influenza with emphasis on etiology and epidemiology.
