China says father of bird flu victim also infected
| Quote From Source: | BEIJING (Reuters) - The father of a Chinese man who died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu last week has also been diagnosed with the disease, authorities said on Friday.
The National Disease Authority has confirmed that a 52-year-old man surnamed Lu from the Nanjing, capital of the eastern province Jiangsu, was feverish with the H5N1 strain on Thursday, the Ministry of Health reported on its Web site (www.moh.gov.cn).

This is eerily reminiscent of the clusters in Indonesia in 2006. Some of the samples had changes in the receptor binding domain. Admittedly, I haven't kept up like I used to, so I'm not sure the current state of the H5N1 mutations. |
