PATHOGENS
- Categorized according to the ability to kill chickens in a laboratory setting:
- Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI):
- Influenza (H5N1), avian first detected in Chinese geese in 1996
- Occasional human pathogen since 1997
- Low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI):
- Most influenza A H5 types (except H5N1 as above)
- Most influenza A H7 types
- H7N9 (2013-14, 2016-17 China), appears to cause particularly severe human infection (mortality rate ~40%)
- Types H7N2, H7N3, H7N7) cause of mild-moderate occasional human infection
- H9N2 (rare human illness, mild)
- Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI):
- CDC (2019): considers risks for outbreaks of HPAI H5 or H7 viruses in poultry or wild birds to be low.
