Abstract
- Most avian influenza viruses remain unique to their hosts and pose no threat to human life, however, under the right circumstances, some can jump from animals to humans. The few autopsies performed on human victims of H5N1 have revealed that the viruses lodges deep in the crevasses of the lung tissue, not in the major airways as would be the case in an infectious flu.
