As per available reports Bird Flu involves 8 relevant journals , 5 upcoming Conference, 1 socities, 15 Collaboration, 35 Media Partners and 818 National symposiums are presently dedicated exclusively to Bird Flu and about 1,633 open access articles and 5,465 Conference Proceedings are being published on Bird Flu.
Bird Flu is an infectious viral disease of birds especially wild water fowl such as ducks and geese, often causing no apparent signs of illness. Bird flu viruses can sometimes spread to domestic poultry and cause large-scale outbreaks of serious disease. Some of these bird flu viruses have also been reported to cross the species barrier and cause disease or subclinical infections in humans and other mammals. The primary risk factor for human infection appears to be direct or indirect exposure to infected live or dead poultry or contaminated environments, such as live bird markets. Controlling circulation of the A(H5N1) and A(H7N9) viruses in poultry is essential to reducing the risk of human infection. For safty avian influenza vaccines is necessary. Given the persistence of the A(H5N1) and A(H7N9) viruses in some poultry populations, control will require long-term commitments from countries and strong coordination between animal and public health authorities.

Scope and Importance:
Bird flu Conference provides the scope for opportunities to learn progressed by international scientists and academicians. Bird flu Conference offers excessive quality content to suit the diverse professional development of these medicines to treat people and animals all over the globe. It is a perfect platform to discuss the current discoveries and developments in the field of Avian flu.
Bird flu or avian influenza are strains of Influenza A viruses that infect birds Although avian influenza A viruses usually do not infect humans, rare cases of human infection with avian influenza A viruses have been reported. Most human infections with avian influenza A viruses have occurred following direct or close contact with infected poultry. Illness in humans has ranged from mild to severe
Most human contractions of the avian flu are a result of r handling dead infected birds or from contact with infected fluids. While most wild birds mainly have only a mild form of the H5N1 strain, once domesticated birds such as chickens or turkeys are infected, it could become much more deadly because the birds are often within close contact of one another. There is currently a large threat of this in Asia with infected poultry due to low hygiene conditions and close quarters. Although it is easy for humans to become infected from birds, it's much more difficult to do so from human to human without close and lasting contact.
Many countries choose to kill all infected poultry to control of bird flu, instead of immunizations which lead a huge lose . Therefor, immunize the poultry with avian influenza vaccines is necessary. As of the July 25, 2008 FAO Avian Influenza Disease Emergency Situation Update, H5N1 pathogenicity is continuing to gradually rise in endemic areas but the avian influenza disease situation in farmed birds is being held in check by vaccination. In 2013, the live stock volume of laying hens in China was about 1.4 billion while that of broilers was approximately 10 billion. The output volume of eggs in China was 28.76 million tons in 2013, up by 0.5% .According to National Compulsory Immunization Plan of Animal Epidemic Diseases 2013 issued by Ministry of Agriculture of China, the government conducts compulsory immunizations against 4 diseases, including highly pathogenic avian influenza. The government is responsible for the expenses. In 2013, the market size of avian influenza vaccines exceeded CNY 1 billion in China.
