Abstract: Using a Lindblad dissipation dynamics [Lindblad G. On the generators of quantum dynamical semigroups. Commun Math Phys 1976;48:119–130 and see also Gorini V, Frigerio A, Verri M, Kossakowski A, Sudarshan ECG. Properties of quantum Markovian master equations. Rep Math Phys 1978;13:149–173; Alicki R, Messer J. Nonlinear quantum dynamical semigroups for many-body open systems. J Stat Phys 1983;32:299–312.] for biological rate equations we derive a one-component discrete dynamics for the spread of Avian Influenza. Numerical solutions of the difference equations are calculated and compared with measurement data.
