SHANGHAI -- Scientists in China have detected a new type of swine flu virus that has the potential to become a pandemic.
Named G4, it has a similar genetic composition to the H1N1 strain that spread across the world in 2009. Prevention alerts have been issued as it could become a pandemic in the absence of population immunity.
