The H5N1 virus responsible for the current virulent strain of bird flu has evolved into two genetically distinct strains, US scientists have confirmed.

They fear this could increase the risk to humans - and complicate the search for an effective vaccine.

The US team analysed more than 300 H5N1 samples taken from infected birds and people between 2003 and summer 2005.

Details were presented to the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases in Atlanta.

2. Eventually...

...if they keep working at it, they will be able to mutate it into a human transferrable form. You just know they are aching to get their vaccine on the market first and make billions!

4. what they really want

is for the first human case to show up in this country so they can declare matial law, round up possibly "infected" people (who coincidentally belong to protest groups and who signed petitions for impeachment)and place them in those camps Haliburton conveniently built to incarcerate illegal aliens.
