Gujarat health minister says swine flu virus strain has ?mutated partially?

Jayanarayan Vyas, the Gujarat Health and Family welfare minister broker ranks with the centre with his statement that the swine flu virus strain had mutated, albeit partially According to him the H1N1 virus responsible for the swine flu outbreak has mutated, at least partially, even though the Union Health Ministry ruled out the same. This is the first time, that an official has admitted that there could be a chance that the virus has mutated into a deadlier strain.

Vyas said that samples of the virus sent to the Pune-based National Institute of Virology (NIV) by the state government has confirmed the mutation. ?Normally this virus spreads during the cold season (winter). This time the virus seems to have partially mutated and has become resistant to high temperatures. That is one reason why you are seeing an outbreak now (in summer),? Vyas told reporters. ?The mutation is, however, very mild,? he said, adding there are chances that some of the H1N1 vaccines developed by pharma companies could be rendered ineffective because of this mutation.
