                |   World's first movies on bird flu - This is the first part of bird flu the virus - This animated, 45 minute, movie arms you with detailed information on virus, it answers those questions that had been bothering you but did not know whom to ask?, like how can a "bird virus" infect human beings, How can the virus jump from chicken to humans? If this H5N1 virus has been present since 1997, why is there no medicine or vaccine available even today to fight it?

                      is the part 1, the part 2 deals with viral transmission 
                      to humans. 
                    Virus 
                      is a strange entity it is "un-dead" and when it 
                      comes in contact with a living cell it becomes alive and 
                      causes diseases and deaths. This movie takes you onto a 
                      journey of discovering the virus. The movie explains it 
                      in an easy to understand, interactive format. It answers 
                      many questions, some of them are given below. There are 
                      two more movies on bird flu, go to their pages on our site 
                      to get more details about this virus

                      Are they alive? 
                      19.Can our body not recognize them as invaders and prevent 
                      them from causing harm? 
                      20.What is this influenza virus type A? What is this H and 
                      N in H5N1?
