to be one of the most concerning diseases taking its toll on the modern world. In addition to its catastrophic impact on human health, Avian Flu has the potential
for tremendous impacts to world business as well. In the past Avian Flu has been restricted to animals in Southeast Asia and a
few human infections in that region (Pugh, 2005). Although the number of humans that have fallen victim to the disease is now quite low even in Southeast Asia, 133
infections and 68 deaths, these numbers could rapidly escalate not just in Southeast Asia but elsewhere as well (Pugh, 2005). Unfortunately,
the threat of the virus being transported to the West by migratory birds is no longer the sole subject of science fiction. In its unmutated form the virus typically
