Experts do indeed say that human to human tranmission is essential for a pandemic to emerge, another point that I have from experts is that <i>when</i> the virus does mutate into a human transmissible form it is more than likely that it will be far less virulent that H5N1 for instance. If it kills people at too high a rate it won't be able to spread far, after all.
