While this young boy was dying, the world of virology and infectious diseases was shocked by the fact that the influenza strain which affected this small child was a strain that was previously thought to affect only birds. Never in mankind's history had this type of influenza been isolated from a human. This virus, however, went on to infect 18 people, killing six of them.
The only way for people to become infected by this avian- flu strain was to come into contact with infected birds. A University of Hong Kong study of Hong Kong's open meat markets found that 10% of the chickens in these markets contained the virus. It was also found that the duck and geese carried the same avian-flu virus. Humans infected with this virus may have caught it with contact so casual and mundane that they would never have known that they were in danger.

I guess we are related to chickens also?
