    SARS and bird flu are caused by coronaviruses and avian influenza viruses. They are transmitted through droplets when a person comes into direct contact with an infected person or bird. Modifiable risk factors include having a weakened immune system, contact with infected individuals or birds/poultry, and exposure to contaminated areas. Non-modifiable risk factors are age over 65 and gender. The viruses enter the respiratory tract and bloodstream, disrupting thermal regulation and increasing heat production in the body. Signs and symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
