A major concern this flu season is reassortment, when seasonal flu and bird flu infect the same host and swap genetic material, potentially creating a new, more dangerous strain. With H5N1 in cows and human cases emerging, our virology labs are closely tracking its evolution. More: ow.ly/thLP50WafhH
