In this month’s issue the Journal breaks new ground by breaking into verse. For the next few months we will be carrying poems on environmental health themes from the Liverpool poet, Levi Tafari. Levi can be seen performing these poems, in the company of local children, by logging on to the Journal web site (http://www.jech.com/misc/poems.shtml). We hope that this innovation will encourage other contributions in a more cultural vein.

He concludes that although another influenza pandemic in humans is inevitable, we cannot predict when it will occur,
