Well the issue of transmission of disease from avian to human being is a new culture spread by some world wide due to various thinking at different levels including some scientists. The fear generating concepts in business management has become the present age trend. Well even there is small issues like water purifiers are also marketed with advantage arguments between firms and all most all marketing items are based on emotional and fear concepts or linked with profit generation. If i say AI is also can be grouped in this category of concept then perhaps many scientists do not agree with reasons. But i agree with the concept that non of the Avian disease can make fatal issues to human and human to human transmission of poultry disease is thought without findings. Present paper do say it is a review but it is a fact. AI has become the issue of the world now and lot of work and expenditures are taken care by all continents with concept to control or save human race. vaccines, bio security items,costly antibiotics, AI administration etc are ok but I have worked in poultry for the last 40 years and i do not know how to fear poultry and why?All animals and birds have independent systems due to super natural powers beyond our understanding but still there is no harm to take care all points raised at different levels for poultry food productions by experienced producers. This is my personal opinion on viral diseases of poultry. I enjoyed the article which is placed here. Nice review on poultry oncogenic virus. Dr m rath
