Avian Flu

This episode—which is Number 53—is all about Avian Influenza. Or colloquially what we call the Avian Flu or Bird Flu.

I thought you might have some questions about this emerging disease, and so here we are with an entire podcast episode on the subject. ~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~ Links of Interest Current U.S. Bird Flu Situation in Humans Link to this episode on the Science of Birds website Support the show
