Virologists in China are investigating the possibility of person-to-person transmission of the H7N9 bird flu virus, as infections have increased more broadly.

A medic has reported that a four-year-old Shanghai boy has recovered from the new strain of bird flu that has killed nine people in China.

China reported its eighth H7N9 avian flu death on Tuesday, and there are now signs that the virus has adapted to 'survive in people.'

The strain of bird flu, not hitherto known to infect humans, has caused a fifth death in China. The latest reports indicate that 11 people now confirmed as having contracted the virus.
|

The flu virus is known to spread in different ways: direct contact and via the air. New research suggests that airborne transmission is the most important method.

A new flu treatment, which appears to be able to kill a wider variety of flu strains compared with current drugs, has shown potential in lab trials.
