influenza aviar; gripe aviar; gripe aviaria; gripa aviar; peste aviar: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que tanto "gripe aviar" como "gripe aviaria" son formas adecuadas para denominar a la enfermedad producida por el virus de la gripe A de origen aviar. [...] El Diccionario de la lengua española recoge el adjetivo "aviario", el cual remite a "aviar", que significa "perteneciente o relativo a las aves". Por su parte, el Diccionario de términos médicos, de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España, también [...] registra "gripe aviaria". Así pues, ambas formas son adecuadas para nombrar a esta enfermedad. Asimismo, se documentan las variantes con el sustantivo "gripa" [como,] "gripa aviar" [...] Otras alternativas para referirse a esta enfermedad son "influenza aviar" o "peste aviar", pues, según el diccionario académico, "influenza" es sinónimo de "gripe" [...] 4, record 1, Spanish, - influenza%20aviar
