Scientists have found evidence of flu in bats for the first time - and warn it could pose a threat to humans.

U.S. health officials say they found genetic fragments of a never-before-seen virus in some Guatemalan bats.

Flu bugs are common in humans, birds, pigs and a variety of other mammals, but this is the first time one has been documented in these winged mammals.
