International Scientists Raise the Alarm: A lethal virus has apparently evolved out of control. The symptoms are familiar - fever, cough, sore throat, and shortness of breath. But this time it could be different: the viruses are spreading rapidly, and now there are also cases in Europe. Is a new global pandemic inevitable? Read more here:

The situation in the USA is dramatic: The bird flu virus H5N1 has now spread to all 50 states. International virologists warn of an accelerated "mutation process". Particularly alarming: Infections in pigs have been detected for the first time. This development could turn the virus into a pathogen that could soon be transmitted from person to person.

Why are pigs so dangerous? Experts explain that the genetic material of pigs strongly resembles that of humans - especially in the area of organ systems. These animals could become so-called "mixing vessels" that can absorb and alter both bird and human flu viruses. The Global Virus Network therefore urgently calls for increased surveillance measures and stricter security protocols.
