HUMAN DEATHS FROM BIRD FLU RAISE FEAR OF GLOBAL OUTBREAK

GENEVA, Switzerland, January 26, 2004 (ENS) - World Health Organization 
officials are concerned that a strain of avian influenza now spreading 
across Asia might exchange genes with a human virus to create a new virus 
that could spread easily among people. Over the past month, millions of 
chickens in seven countries have either died or been destroyed because of 
the highly infectious bird flu strain, known as H5N1.
