Are pigs catching bird flu?
Experts in Vietnam are checking rumours that pigs have caught bird flu, which could result in a new, powerful stain of the disease that could be caught and passed on by people, a flu specialist said on Saturday.

Pigs are seen as as an ideal vessel for bird and human viruses to mix and produce new strains that humans can catch.

"There are rumours of pigs being infected in Vietnam. WHO teams are there to see if pigs are infected," Jacqueline Katz, a flu expert at the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, told a conference in Hong Kong.
