Answer: Influenza is a virus that's spread from person to person. It originates, actually, among birds and other animals such as pigs, and new viral strains of influenza come to this country and to Europe from Southeast Asia. That's the global pattern. But close to home, influenza is a virus that we have in our throats and we transmit to each other when we're in close contact and also when we get the virus on our hands and touch each other and touch our noses and our mouths and that way we can transmit the virus from one person to another.
Most of the cases have been in Vila Franca de Xira, a town about 25km (16 miles) north-east of Lisbon. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says the outbreak constitutes a major public health emergency. Legionnaires' disease is a pneumonia-like lung infection caused by the legionella bacteria. The source of the outbreak is yet to be found. Local media report that the bacteria has been discovered in a cooling tower in Vila Franca de Xira, but it is thought there may be other sources.
