Subject: Hong Kong Flu Jumps From Pigs to Humans

Fear of flu epidemic grows as deadly virus spreads
By Robert Uhlig and Aisling Irwin
A DANGEROUS new strain of flu that could trigger a worldwide epidemic
has broken out in Hong Kong, scientists warn today.
Like the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic which killed around 20 million people
worldwide, the Hong Kong strain is believed to have jumped from pigs to
humans. Health officials were alerted after a 10-month-old girl was
admitted to hospital last month. Two years ago, a strain of flu from
chickens struck 18 people in Hong Kong, killing six.
Although health officials are anxious not to cause panic, they are warning
that killer strains usually come from pigs or poultry. According to New
Scientist, the girl was successfully treated, but her virus bears all the
molecular hallmarks of a strain from pigs.
Most new flu strains are variants of existing viruses, but every few
decades a radically different virus comes along, triggering a pandemic
that can kill millions. The last two were in 1957 and 1968. To trigger a
pandemic, viruses must be extremely infectious and be transmitted rapidly.
Swine-type viruses crossed to humans in 1977 and 1986 but were not passed
on fast enough to create a crisis.
