Concern after bird flu 'passes from father to daughter'
Researchers have reported the first case of human-to-human transmission of the new bird flu that has emerged in China.
The British Medical Journal said a 32-year-old woman was infected after caring for her father.
Until now there had been no evidence of anyone catching the H7N9 virus other than after direct contact with birds.
