Aug 31, Kathmandu - Bird flu or avian influenza has raised concerns around the world. It mainly spreads among birds but sometimes affects humans as well. The biggest problem with it is that the symptoms are similar to those of the common flu. Such as fever, cough, chills or sore throat. This is why it is difficult to identify it in the early stages.

If not recognized and treated early, it can become serious. It can also cause breathing problems and pneumonia.

But now dangerous diseases like bird flu (avian flu) can be identified faster. American scientists have created a new genetic artificial intelligence (AI) tool. It can quickly detect bird flu infections. This virus is called avian influenza or bird flu. It can also spread to other animals.
