Bird flu spreading to EuropeWhat is avian influenza (bird flu)?Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them. Une traduction : La grippe aviaire est une maladie infectieuse causée par les virus des grippes ( = celle des oiseaux). Ces virus grippaux se manifestent - de par leur nature - parmi les oiseaux. Les oiseaux 'sauvages' transportent, à l'échelle du monde, ces virus dans leurs intestins, mais n'en tombent pas malades pour autant, habituellement. Cependant, la grippe aviaire est très contagieuse chez les oiseaux et peut rendre très malades et tuer aussi bien les oiseaux, que les poulets, les canards et les dindes.
