New swine flu virus supports 'mixing vessel' theory

Robert Roos * News Editor

Dec 20, 2007 (CIDRAP News) – A new influenza virus discovered in Missouri pigs has a combination of genes from avian and swine flu viruses, supporting the theory that pigs can serve as a mixing vessel for flu viruses and a potential source for a human pandemic strain, according to a report published yesterday.

Researchers found that the virus, an H2N3 subtype, caused illness in experimentally infected mice and was transmissible in swine and ferrets, suggesting it has adapted to mammals, according to the report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). In addition, genetic analysis showed the virus has a mutation linked with an increased ability to infect mammals.

The discovery marks the first identification of an H2 virus in swine, according to the authors of the report. The flu pandemic of 1957-58 was caused by an H2 virus, namely H2N2. That virus was replaced by an H3N2 strain in the pandemic of 1968-69, and H2 viruses have not circulated in humans since then. Hence, people younger than 40 have little immunity to H2 viruses, scientists say.


Pigs are a petri dish for growing viruses, germs, parasites, and bacteria! They are filthy animals, that drink each others urine! I can't believe people eat these things!

I say destroy them all.

Canada: Alberta pigs said to be infected with swine flu



A government source says the animals were thought to be infected by a farm worker who had recently been to Mexico and fell ill upon his return.

This may be the first time this particular swine flu virus has been found in pigs.

great...just great...I stocked up the freezer with a pork roast and some babyback ribs because it's getting to be barbequing time...just great...oh yeah, and I'm making a pot of chili 1/2 pork, 1/2 beef...oh wellz! At least if we die, we die well-fed.

Monsanto has developed a new pig that is resistant to this flu and owns the patent on it. All pigs except the Monsanto pig must be destroyed!


'All your pigs belong to us!'

Wow
That's real bad news

Our food supply is teeter tottering on the edge
