The bird flu virus primarily affects domestic and wild birds, particularly species such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. Wild waterfowl are often asymptomatic carriers, while domestic birds can suffer severe illness and high mortality rates. The H5N1 and H7N9 strains are particularly notorious for their impact on poultry populations. In some cases, the virus can also infect other species, including mammals, but birds remain the primary hosts.
