Flu burung is an infectious disease and a zoonoses. The disease is caused by influenza type A viruses. These viruses, commonly found in birds and poultry, are also referred to as Avian Influenza viruses.

In Indonesia, avian influenza infection in poultry had been detected since August 2003. In July 2008 it was reported to have infected poultry in 33 provinces in Indonesia.

Avian influenza outbreaks are very damaging for Indonesia, both for the economy and public health. Avian influenza has killed millions of birds and forced thousands of chicken farmers into bankruptcy.

Widespread concern of this disease has caused significant decrease in public demand of poultry products. From 2004 to 2007 alone, it was estimated that Indonesia had suffered 4.1 trilliun rupiahs of economic loss.

And more concerning is the continuous increase in human death caused by this disease. Until the end of 2008 human mortality from avian influenza in Indonesia was still the highest in the world.
