Canadian scientists are getting ready to start work on the worrisome new flu virus H-7-N-9.
Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg is expecting to get a sample of the virus from China next week.
The lab's scientific director, Doctor Frank Plummer, says China readily agreed to share the virus with the Winnipeg lab, where scientists hope to contribute to the international effort to decode the mysteries of this new flu.
Plummer says his lab provided China with samples of the H-1-N-1 virus at the start of the 2009 pandemic and that may have influenced China's decision on the H-7-N-9 request.
