CHINA-HEALTH-FLU
A woman walks past a neighborhood billboard raising awareness on the H1N1 influenza virus on May 8, 2009 in Beijing. Top experts have said preventing the swine flu H1N1 virus that is spreading across the globe from infecting patients sick with the deadly H5N1 avian flu should be a top priority, especially in Asia. John Oxford, a virologist at London Queen Mary's school of Medicine and Dentistry, said if both viruses wind up in the same individual, they could mix genes and mutate into a form that is both very pathogenic and easily transmitted among humans. Since 2003, the H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed more than 250 people in a dozen countries, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), with more than 80 percent of the deaths in East and Southeast Asia.
