Cats could cause a pandemic of bird flu in humans, according to a new study.
Research published in Science found that domestic cats can become infected with avian influenza A (H5N1) virus by feeding on infected birds or by associating with an infected cat.
The authors say this could have important implications for transmission of the virus in humans.
'Cats may form an opportunity for this avian virus to adapt to mammals, thereby increasing the risk of a human influenza pandemic,' they conclude.
