Quickie Bird Flu

Are there any scientists reading? Just wondering if anyone could clear up a bit of confusion on my part: what’s the official name for this bird flu thing?

The guy on the XFM breakfast news refers to it each morning as “the lethal H5N1 strain”, but I’ve noticed that the TV news last night and this morning’s indie went with “the deadly H5N1 strain”.

Which one’s right? Are these two different strains?

We need to be told.
