Concerns have been raised about the potential spread of a new type of bird flu that could kill more than a third of the people they affected.
H7N9 is currently running through birds in China, but the virus has killed hundreds of people and many others have been infected.
In a desperate battle to prevent it from becoming a pandemic, the government of Great Britain is now investigating the deadly virus.
The goal is to pursue geographical spread and changes in genetic structure to see if it has the ability to spread among humans.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, deputy chief of medicine in England, told the Daily Telegraph: “It is possible that this virus is the cause of future pandemic”.
