H1N1 in Canada = H1N1 Swine are transmitted Now

Swine flu virus H1N1 found in pigs infected at a Canadian ranch with a virus that cause disease in humans worldwide, according to Canadian scientists confirm.
    
Scientists from the National Center for Foreign Animal Disease (NCFAD), Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), have mapped the full genetic sequence of the virus found in pigs from Alberta and confirm that the virus in infected pigs were similar to those found in humans, says siara press CFIA in its Internet pages, the end of last week.
    
Part of the 2300 pigs at a farm is found to be infected with new virus in early May. The virus is thought to spread from a worker who had just returned from Mexico.
    
While scientists are trying to investigate this new virus, these developments will help scientists around the world to better understand the virus and its impact on animals, CFIA said.
    
The researchers are now focusing on how to swine flu virus H1N1 affecting these animals.
    
Although further studies are needed, initial studies showed that the infected animals became ill and recovered naturally, just as their condition if exposed (Exposed) against common influenza viruses found in pigs at a global level, the agency said.
    
Research is being conducted by the CFIA to examine whether other animals susceptible to the virus or not. Such information may be used to refine measures of disease monitoring and prevention.
    
Various studies also were conducted to assess the effectiveness of current vaccines, and develop diagnostic methods for better and faster.
