bird flu

An elderly woman in China is the first person known to have died from a strain of bird flu called H10N8, according to a new report of the case.

Cases of H7N9 bird flu have spiked in recent weeks with the arrival of flu season.

A 20-year-old woman in Taiwan is the first person known to be infected with a strain of bird flu called H6N1, according to a new report of the case.

The case of a father and daughter in China who both became infected with H7N9 bird flu provides the strongest evidence yet that the virus can transmit from person to person, experts say.

One strain of the H7N9 bird flu virus appears to spread easily through the air between ferrets, which are a good model for how the virus may spread in humans, a new study from China says.

The H7N9 bird flu virus appears to be particularly adapted to transmit from birds to people.

A woman in Taiwan was found to be infected with H6N1, a new strain of bird flu.

Researchers study how the H7N9 flu virus spreads in ferrets to better understand how it might spread in people.
