- (AHN) - New research shows the H5N1 avian flu virus multiplies
several times as it's passed down through generations of people. Scientists
studied a case in which at least seven members of one Indonesian family
became infected.
-
- The research shows as the virus was passed through three
generations of one family, it mutated. In one instance, 21 times. This
is believed to be the first time H5N1 has spread through so many generations.
Only one member of the family survived.
-
- Since 2003, there have been 229 confirmed cases and 131
deaths.
