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.
Avian influenza (AI) --the bird flu--is a virus that infects wild birds (such as ducks, gulls, and shorebirds) and domestic poultry (such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese).There is flu for birds just as there is for humans and, as with people, some forms of the flu in birds are worse than others.here are two types of avian influenza (AI) that are identified as H5N1. A difference exists in the virus classification; one is low pathogenic (LPAI) and the other is highly pathogenic (HPAI).
