This paper discusses how avian flu viruses continue to evolve due to insufficient control measures, like surveillance, prompt detection of variants and regulations including vaccination, safe farming, and coordinated international cooperation. This is important to contain viral spread and minimize transmission between species and to prevent potential pandemics.
