Now that we know about both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, let's look at the endosymbiosis theory. This theory suggests that mitochondria and plastids in eukaryotic cells were once independent prokaryotic cells.
Avian influenza (AI) is an infectious viral disease of birds (especially wild water fowl such as ducks and geese), often causing no apparent signs of illness. AI viruses can sometimes spread to domestic poultry and cause large-scale outbreaks of serious disease.
Treating Avian Influenza A Virus Infections in Humans CDC currently recommends a neuraminidase inhibitor for treatment of human infection with avian influenza A viruses. CDC has posted avian influenza guidance for health care professionals and laboratorians, including guidance on the use of antiviral medications for the treatment of human infections with novel influenza viruses associated with severe disease.
