The bird flu virus, known as H5N1, is the culmination of random mutations and countless viral mixings, producing a strain of influenza unfamiliar to the human immune system.
In Alaska, scientists such as Runstadler are searching for traces of H5N1 in bird droppings left from the summer breeding season.
Detecting the first signs of H5N1's arrival in Alaska will give farmers and public health officials crucial time to ready their defenses, said Dr. John Clifford, chief veterinarian at the US Department of Agriculture.
