A UN team has flown into Egypt this week to investigate a sharp rise in the number of human cases of bird flu. Most of those affected have been very young children.

The UN is concerned that the low number of adult cases could mean that people are now carrying the virus without showing the symptoms.

The BBC's Christian Fraser reports from Cairo.
