question:
Au moins une partie des trois pandémies du vingtième siècle seraient dues au virus de la grippe d’un animal ou d’un oiseau qui a muté ou échangé des gènes avec une souche humaine (effectuant ainsi ce qu’on appelle une recombinaison) et acquis la capacité à infecter l’homme et surtout à se transmettre entre les hommes.
answer:
At least some of the three pandemics during the last (20th) century are thought to have come from an animal or bird influenza virus that itself mutated or swapped genes with a human (so called recombination) and acquired the ability to both infect humans and, more importantly, spread between them.


question:
On pense que la transmission s’effectue par la consommation de produits bovins infectés (bien que la transmission interhumaine du vMCJ par transfusion sanguine ait été récemment décrite).
answer:

The suspected route of transmission is through consumption of infected beef products (although recently human-to-human transmission of vCJD through blood transfusion has been described).
