Bird flu has just been diagnosed in Chandigarh lake birds. I just read an entry in the Wikipedia regarding bird flu, it says " Prevention[edit] Notwithstanding possible mutation of the virus, the probability of a "humanized" form of H5N1 emerging through genetic recombination in the body of a human co-infected with H5N1 and another influenza virus type (a process called reassortment) could be reduced by widespread seasonal influenza vaccination in the general population.
