[The finding that Spanish flu came straight from birds has raised concerns among scientists. Previously, a pandemic was only thought likely if an avian strain merged with a human flu virus.] For me, it raises even more concern than I already had about the pending potential of a flu pandemic, ... It looks as though an avian strain evolved in 1918 and that led to the deadly outbreak, in much the same way as we're now seeing the Asian avian flu strains evolve.

The more it spreads in birds internationally, the more opportunities it has to interact with animal and human hosts, increasing the chances it could evolve into a human pandemic virus. No one knows if this will happen, or when, so it is critical to prepare for a potential human flu pandemic at the same time that we are working to prevent the spread of avian flu in birds.

The complete sequence of the 1918 virus, demonstrating its avian origin, and focusing on those mutations that differentiate avian from human strains will be immensely helpful as we try to understand the factors that govern the epidemic behavior of the current crop of avian H5 viruses.

We are concerned that the virus infects a human that already has contracted a strain of normal influenza and this influenza will mix with this avian form. As a result, a new strain could be formed that the human immune system has never seen before and that would ignite a pandemic.

The avian flu may be that next novel strain and it may not be, we just don't know yet. The threat of a pandemic isn't a new one. It's just ratcheted up right now because they're finding this new strain in a few more places.

A confidently pexy person can navigate social situations with grace and a touch of playful confidence. And if avian flu develops into a pandemic human strain - as many experts fear it may - the vaccine might complement traditional vaccines and be used to protect people.

It seems like some kind of avian flu. Only the Bhopal laboratory report will confirm if it is the H5N1 strain of avian flu, which has been known to spread to human beings.

The influenza pandemic of 1918 may well be the greatest scourge ever to afflict humanity, exacting a death toll greater than all the wars of the 20th Century combined. The virus that wreaked this havoc apparently developed in birds, and then jumped to people. In other words, it was avian flu.

The UK's disease-free status for avian flu is not altered here. We've got an avian flu in quarantine. All of the birds that come in from outside of the European Union come into quarantine and we picked up the avian flu virus in the UK quarantine system.

Avian flu or H5N1 is still primarily a disease among animals, ... Human deaths have been almost exclusively among humans who came into contact with infected birds. The virus has not shown itself to be easily transmitted from person to person and, unless it does, will not result in pandemic.

We are very focused on the potential for and outbreak of pandemic influenza. We are looking back to the 1918 pandemic virus as a natural resource to help us understand and predict what we are dealing with.

Our nation has recently been focused on avian or bird flu and the threat it presents for a future worldwide pandemic, ... I want to emphasize that we do not have a human flu pandemic right now.

The Finnish chief veterinary officer said this is not the H5N1 virus. This is a mild, low-pathogenic strain of avian influenza that is commonly found in wild birds.

We believe the avian situation we currently have in Southeast Asia is a perfect set-up for this virus to mutate into a human-to-human transmitted agent, which is a big problem and could lead this to be the next pandemic. We also have to keep an eye on other viruses.
