Bird Flu: On the Move and Hard to Track
The H7N9 virus is deadly to humans but does not present symptoms in birds, which makes it more difficult to control.
A 53-year-old Taiwanese man has contracted the H7N9 influenza virus, most likely while on a business trip to China, reported the New York Times on Wednesday. This is the first time the virus has been reported outside of China, where that country’s Health and Family Planning Commission says the new strain has infected more than 100 people, 23 fatally, according to CNN.http://www.technologyreview.com/view/514236/bird-flu-on-the-move-and-hard-to-track/
