 This dangerous virus also changes in genetic structure, but not yet strong enough to be spread from person to person or alter the virulence of the virus. The cases may even cause a major outbreak, but it is worried that A/H5N1 flu virus remains in the water-bird colonies in some places, the same as a healthy carrier and supervision by the veterinary authorities shows that about 3% -5% of men duck H5N1 influenza viruses to spread risk is also higher.
