HPAI science presentation help?

[ElGoose]

So I’m at college currently studying science. We’ve all been tasked to put together a presentation on whatever we choose as long as we link it back to science and research.

I thought I’d ask here if anybody has any interesting findings on HPAI and how to treat it and prevent it that I may not typically come across? I’d love to make an informative presentation on it that can also give some of the public (my classmates lol) some deeper understanding and also what they can do to be mindful of it and avoid the spread?

Any help or links to obscure research or your general experience with it would be amazing ! I’ve already done a lot of research into it myself but I thought some community research and people’s real life findings would be a great addon

To clarify, you're asking about HPAI as in avian influenza AKA bird flu?

Yes, sorry x

No worries. Lots of folks know the latter, but not the former, so I'm hopefully opening up your response pool.

No direct experience or real knowledge on it for me though.

Thank you so much ! For a second I was scared that I’d be told off

If you go to the APHIS HPAI site that gives the number of cases and download the data, make a time chart, it shows a pretty interesting trend that supports the data that HPAI is a heat labile virus. There’s really no treatment for it in poultry, but dairy cattle have been successfully treated using anti-inflammatories and fluids. Probably the most interesting thing about HPAI from a science perspective is its ability to mutate and recombine. Recent data also suggests it can be transmitted through wind-carried aerosols. Good luck on your presentation!

Also a couple great sources for journal articles about HPAI are the Journal of Applied Poultry Research and Poultry Science Journal.

You can add that they can visit this link to see the most recent bird flu cases in the US. That is if you are located in the US.
