GENEVA, May 23 (Reuters) - The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Tuesday that tests had shown no evidence of a significant mutation in the bird flu strain that killed at least six people in North Sumatra.

The death of the group, one of the largest clusters to occur since the disease re-emerged in 2003, had triggered fears that it could be evolving to become more easily transmissible between people.

"Sequencing ... found no evidence of genetic reassortment ... and no evidence of significant mutations," the agency said in a statement.

Gotta read that book "The Great Flu" or whatever it's called. If anyone knows the actual title can you ping me?

The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History -- by John M. Barry

A somewhat long and hard read but well worth it. - OB1

The book is "The Great Influenza":

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143036491/sr=8-1/qid=1148477670/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7122915-8052649?%5Fencoding=UTF8

Good book, if a bit technical at times.
