Summary

• The flu, a killer that can strike anyone, is on the prowl again. Its endless ability to mutate has puzzled researchers for years. This program travels to France, England, Canada, the U.S., and China to speak with leading flu experts about the flu's rate and factors of transmission, and the particular dangers it represents for high-risk groups.
• Scientists discuss ongoing research, while explaining how continually evolving strains outsmart the immune system and keep researchers constantly on the defensive.
