According to a new study published in the journal mBio, scientists have discovered that domestic dogs are harboring flu viruses that have the potential to jump to humans. That's a scenario previously thought highly improbable, if not impossible: no cases of a human catching canine influenza have ever been recorded.

Canine influenza (also known as dog flu) is a contagious respiratory disease in dogs caused by specific Type A influenza viruses known to infect dogs.

These are called "Canine influenza viruses." No human infections with Canine influenza have ever been reported.
