This rack card presents, in a colorful visual form as a word cloud, the keywords that summarize the issues surrounding the threat to our health from the avian influenza virus, an infection in birds that is commonly referred to as Bird Flu. The word cloud lies on a background consisting of a bird's white feather and on a rack card with your advisory information.

The virus in infected birds, both domestic poultry and wild birds, can mutate to infect humans and this has led to epidemics in humans, primarily in Asia, with often fatal results (60% of those infected by the Avian Influenza A strain H5N1 have died). The more the flu virus spreads the greater the risk of a global pandemic.

Those at risk from exposure include farmers and others who work with poultry, travelers visiting affected countries, those in contact with infected birds and food products, and those in contact with infected patients.

This line of products is intended to raise awareness of the threat that bird flu poses when and if it were to extend globally and is an ideal way of spreading the message of risk of infection and preventative hygiene measures via health care workers, NGOs, aid agencies, and private and public sector organizations.

Easy to customize. Use the Customize It button to fully personalize the design. Replace the text with your own advisory information about bird flu, and local contact details for further information for readers. The visual elements may be re-arranged and you may use a different background color, and different font styles, sizes and colors.
