China reported the world's first human infection of the H10N3 bird flu strain on Tuesday but said the risk of it spreading widely among people was low.
China's National Health Commission (NHC) said in an online statement that a 41-year-old man was admitted to hospital with fever symptoms in the eastern city of Zhen-jiang on April 28 and was diagnosed with H10N3 a month later.
