Not too long ago, the world was affected by H1N1, which is another strand of the virus (also called swine flu). It's cause was pigs, hence "swine" flu. Now the birds are carrying it to Europe and Asia.
Asides from keeping it from returning, officials are taking steps to further prevent it by keeping a close eye on the animals as well as importing new vaccines, HOWEVER, no vaccines have been created for the new strand of H5N1. Bangladesh, China, India, Egypt, Indonesia, and Vietnam are the one's to be affected most.
