The World Health Organization is convening an emergency meeting amid reports on Friday that a deadly outbreak of more than 800 "influenza-like" cases in Mexico is caused by a new strain of swine flu that has potentially crossed into the United States.

Mexican authorities said Friday that samples tested both at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control were positive for swine flu viruses.
