👉 Elerivirus is a virus that causes respiratory illness in birds, particularly poultry. It typically affects chickens and guinea fowl but can also infect other poultry and humans. The virus is transmitted through contact with infected feces or droppings on poultry feathers and by contaminated water sources. Symptoms include coughing, fever, loss of appetite, and difficulty breathing, which can be severe in cases that progress to pneumonia or death.
