Certaines personnes ont contracté la grippe aviaire et on présume qu'il y a quelques cas de transmission restreinte et peu efficace d'une personne à une autre. Jusqu'à présent, on sait que ce sont entre autres les sous-types H5N1, H7N7, H7N3 et H9N2 du virus de la grippe aviaire qui causent la maladie chez les humains, le sous-type H5N1 étant celui qui est associé à la forme la plus grave de la maladie chez les humains.
