H5N1 influenza virus is a type of influenza A virus which mostly infects birds. H5N1 flu is a concern because its global spread may constitute a pandemic threat. The yardstick for human mortality from H5N1 is the case-fatality rate (CFR); the ratio of the number of confirmed human deaths resulting from infection of H5N1 to the number of those confirmed cases of infection with the virus.
This is a list of U.S. states, the District of Columbia and territories by infant mortality rates in 2021. The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country. The child mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants ...
Some birds and some lizards follow this pattern. Type III or concave curves have the greatest mortality (lowest age-specific survival) early in life, with relatively low rates of death (high probability of survival) for those surviving this bottleneck. This type of curve is characteristic of species that produce a large number of offspring ...
bird mortality blocks: Image title: Visualisation of data largely from a preliminary study conducted by B. Sovacool into causes of avian mortality in the United States, with each small cube denoting 10000 deaths a year by CMG Lee. Width: 100%: Height: 100%
The young birds are at risk of disease and may have a lower survival rate depending on environmental conditions (Grindstaff 2003). [25] Carotenoids in egg yolk are responsible for the red or yellow color. They protect the underlying fetus's tissues from the free radicals in the environment.
An Alaska seabird species faced the worst mortality event in modern history, and the population isn’t recovering, a study finds. Experts discuss the future implications.
The case fatality rate varies by strain of bird flu. H7N9, another type of bird flu known to infect humans, has a lower fatality rate of about 40%, research shows .
