The Threat Of Bird Flu
Summary
Bird flu, known as avian flu and H5N1 is spreading from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries in Asia, to Europe and Africa. So far, the main threat is to birds. However, doctors say a mutation could lead to easier transmission of the virus from human to human. Vaccine research and emergency planning is underway worldwide. Doctors say the worst case scenario could be an epidemic similar to the flu epidemic of 1918.
