There is new research on H5N1 flu strains that is not being published yet due to fear of bioterror effect because within the paper lies a theoretical mutation that could make H5N1 a lethal human pandemic. H5N1 already kills those that it infects, but it cannot be passed from person to person. Reprts say that this study could show a way that the infection could jump hosts from human to human which could be disastrous. The article was submitted to Science magazine, but it was passed on to National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity.
