A recent discovery in the US has found a bird flu virus, H5N1, infecting a pig for the first time. This development raises concerns about the potential risk of the virus evolving and becoming more transmissible to humans. The virus has previously been detected in various animals, including dairy cattle, poultry, and farm workers. As it jumps between species, there is a chance for mutations that could make it more dangerous.
