Influenza subject to the endangered species act?
MIS 58-15573-69 - Influenza Ward, Sagamihara Hospital, Japan, August 9, 1957.
Well, probably not, but the Post had this interesting article - "Researchers Chart Flu's Global Journey: Strains Arise in Asia, Die in S. America," by David Brown, Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, April 17, 2008; Page A04 - about how strains go extinct in South America this year, but new ones arise in Asia to replace them. The genetic analysis of the influenza virus continues to amaze.
