Researchers in China have discovered a new type of swine flu that is capable of triggering a pandemic, The new flu strain identified in pigs has the potential to infect humans - but experts say it's not an "immediate threat".
Researchers from China and the UK said the virus had "all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus" as it can grow and multiply in human cells.
It shares similarities with the 2009 swine flu, which killed an estimated 12,469 people in the United States between April 12, 2009, and April 10, 2010, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The World Health Organization said Tuesday that it would "read carefully" the study on the new virus, with a spokesman saying the findings highlighted the importance of the world not letting "our guard down on influenza."
