from a number of health problems, including
leptomeninges disease and brain inflammation.
We still don't know where
the dolphin got the virus and
more research needs to be done, Richard Webby, Director of the World Health

on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals and Birds at
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, via 'Newsweek'.
