Those results probably confirm the long-dreaded notion that overly close cohabitation of man and animal is brewing up new, fatal plagues. Hong Kong's bird flu of 1997 was just such a creation: a virus harmless in waterfowl that jumped species to infect chickens and then mutated again, killing six people...
