• New Virus, Old Tale: Animals Share Bugs With Us - washingtonpost .com: Somewhere out there, somewhere along the way, a single creature got all this started. A pig, presumably. Pig Zero. Scientists suspect that two influenza viruses common in swine, one rooted in Eurasia and the other in North America, came together in a single cell within a pig. The two viruses exchanged their genes like a couple of kids swapping school clothes. The result was a novel strain of virus, with, according to scientists, two genes from the Eurasian virus and six genes from the North American virus. The new strain then jumped to humans. Where is unknown. Mexico is a possibility, but so far the virus hasn't been found in any Mexican swine.

• La combinaison H1N1/H5N1 suscite l'inquiétude de scientifiques: Les scientifiques ne connaissent pas le degré de probabilité d'un tel scénario, mais observent que la souche virale de la "grippe mexicaine" ; -un mélange jamais vu de virus porcin, humain et aviaire-s' ;est montrée particulièreme nt à même de saisir le matériel génétique d'autres virus grippaux. Le virus H1N1 "semble avoir cette capacité unique de capter d'autres gènes", souligne le Dr Robert Webster, éminent virologue dont l'équipe a découvert un ancêtre de l'actuel virus grippal dans un élevage porcin de Caroline du Nord en 1998.

• Swine Flu Shows Need for Better Animal Testing: Given the speed with which the H1N1 flu virus spread around the world ? and the relentlessness with which it has been tracked by the media ? it can be hard to believe that less than two weeks have passed since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) first responded to reports of an unusual respiratory illness.
