SUMMARY:
Resistant bird flu viruses pose pandemic threat
Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, one of the body’s ways of stopping viruses in their tracks, according to new research led by the universities of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK) and Glasgow (Glasgow, UK).
In a study published today in Science, the team identified a gene that plays an important role in setting the temperature sensitivity of a virus. In the deadly pandemics of 1957 and 1968, this gene transferred into human flu viruses, and the resulting virus thrived...
Human flu viruses cause millions of infections every year. The most common types of these viruses, which cause seasonal flu, are known as influenza A viruses. They tend to thrive in the upper respiratory tract, where the temperature is around 33°C, rather than deep in the lungs in the lower respiratory tract, where the temperature is around 37°C...

SUMMARY:
Could bird flu be quietly spreading undetected worldwide?
H5N1 could cause asymptomatic infections, meaning it could spread – and evolve – undetected, making it harder to fight.
