LPAI infection vs HPAI

   just wondering what the difference is between these two.
Does anyone know if a human has been infected with LPAI or is it ALL called "bird flu" in humans?
Why are there two versions in birds?
Also if a human gets and survives LPAI would you then be protected from HPAI or "bird flu"?

	I no expert, but it seems the LPAI is mixing with the HPAI, which is not good. Below is an example of an LPAI H7N7. Normally the low-pathogen virus seems to be getting more deadly.
