Who is at risk of avian influenza?

Any person who is exposed to live or dead chickens infected with the virus or their environment is at risk of getting avian influenza. This includes farmers, butchers, people who sell live birds or poultry, people who sell raw poultry meat in the market, people who prepare food from poultry products, children who play in areas where poultry is raised in free range and people who come into very close contact with those who are infected with avian influenza.
