...If we accept this report at face value, the H5N1 strain of influenza has evolved to the point where it can infect a wide range of animals, including mammals not that very different than humans. If this report is true, it buttresses the previous reports that H5N1 has infected and killed humans. In other words, if the bird flu virus is expanding its host range -- from domestic poultry at the beginning of the southeast Asian outbreak, to migratory geese in western China, and pigs in Indonesia, to, now, over a dozen species from disparate families -- it is much, much closer to efficient human-to-human transmission, the last obstacle to a pandemic...(poorly xlated from the Chinese)(Pictures allegedly of thousands of dead birds)
