An Indian vendor puts a chicken in a cage at a poultry market in New Delhi on October 24, 2016. New Delhi zoo was temporarily closed after two birds died of bird flu, a month after India declared itself free of the disease. Most strains of bird flu do not usually infect humans, according to the World Health Organization. But the H5 strain of the virus -- found in the zoo's birds -- can cause fever, cough, sore throat, pneumonia, respiratory disease and sometimes death. / AFP / PRAKASH SINGH (Photo credit should read PRAKASH SINGH/AFP/Getty Images) (Afp/getty Images)
