[Announcer] This podcast is presented by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. CDC — safer, healthier people. [Karen
Hunter] Hello, I'm Karen Hunter. With me today is Dr. Oliver
Morgan, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. We're talking about a paper in the April 2010 issue
of CDC's journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases. The article
looks at the spread of the pandemic influenza strain H1N1 in the
spring of 2009 in Texas, specifically whether the flu was
spreading between family members in households and, if so, how.
Welcome, Dr. Morgan. [Oliver Morgan] Thank you
