Potential Human Pandemic from H9N2 Bird Flu Strain
A team of researchers has found that the H9N2 bird flu virus, often considered minor, has the potential to spark a human pandemic.
Experiments suggest that H9N2 has adapted to human cells, although cases of person-to-person transmission have not been reported yet.
The researchers say more surveillance of the virus is needed.
Attention has been focused on the H5N1 avian influenza virus, but scientists are now concerned about the spread of other bird viruses, including H9N2.
