Are there any chances of a large outbreak of avian bird flu?
While most of the cases reported so far have shown no indication of the virus jumping quickly from one human to another, the possibility can not be ignored. Moreover, the virus is yet to combine with any known form of human flu virus. But scientists and experts fear that if a person was infected with both viruses simultaneously, the chances of the avian virus exchanging genes with the human virus were very much possible. This would result in a mutated virus with the power to not just infect humans more easily but also pass along much more quickly and effectively.
