More Canadian hog Catch New Influenza virus -

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), the H1N1 influenza 09 has infected a herd of pigs in the Canadian province. This is only the third pig farm known to have been infected with the virus that is causing the swine flu pandemic in humans. A statement said a federal laboratory in Winnipeg identified the virus July 24.

Prior infection of a Canadian pig herd in Alberta received intense attention because of the possibility that the virus isolated in animals could help clear up questions about the origin of the pandemic. Genetic analyzes human viruses could not find a close match with viruses currently circulating in pigs, which suggests that the ancestor of the 09 H1N1 flu may have been circulating in pigs or other species not detected during de many years. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has rejected the idea that pigs infected humans in Alberta, insisting from the beginning that it was "highly probable" that he was in the other meaning. But the DNA evidence was confusing.

A CFIA spokesman said Science Insider that he could not immediately answer questions about the genetic sequence of the virus in Quebec flock. Canadian officials reports MAPAQ Quote media say this infection, too, is a probable cases of the virus moving from man to pig, but there is no evidence of man with Alzheimer ' interact with the herd.
