The new virus is genetically descended from the H1N1 strain, which had caused a pandemic in 2009. Various test results have shown 10.4 per cent of swine workers and up to 4.4 per cent of general population may have already been exposed to the new virus.
The G4 EA H1N1 possesses “all the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans”, scientists said at Chinese universities and China’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
G4 was observed to be highly infectious, replicating in human cells and causing more serious symptoms in ferrets than other viruses
Tests also showed that any immunity humans gain from exposure to seasonal flu does not provide protection from G4.
