Avian flu research. Conceptual computer artwork of H5N1 avian flu virus particles in a test tube. Researchers are trying to develop treatments and vaccines to avian flu before it can mutate into a form that can spread between humans. This could cause millions of deaths worldwide. The H5N1 strain of the avian flu virus first appeared in humans in 1997,and killed 60 people between 2003 and 2005. It is contracted through close proximity to infected birds,and cannot be contracted by eating chicken meat or eggs | |
