Title
Assessing the pandemic potential of H5N1.
Abstract
The article focuses on evaluating the epidemic potentiality of H5N1 virus. Studies led by the Center for Disease Control in the U.S. suggest that significant genetic changes of avian influenza virus would be needed to create a strain that could cause a human epidemic. For the studies researchers created hybrid viruses from the H3N2 and H5N1 strains and tested them on ferrets.
