>A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been identified in China by scientists.
>It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say.
>The researchers are concerned that it could mutate further so that it can spread easily from person to person, and trigger a global outbreak.
>While it is not an immediate problem, they say, it has "all the hallmarks" of being highly adapted to infect humans and needs close monitoring.
>As it's new, people could have little or no immunity to the virus.
