Study Confirms Need for Molecular Surveillance of Swine Flu Viruses
Swine influenza viruses isolated in 1983, 2002 and 2009 in Sweden exemplify different lineages and confirm the need for continued molecular surveillance according to researchers working in Sweden and Hungary.

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza and its Potential Implications for Animal Health
At present, the overall impact of the H1N1 virus for the health of the EU pig population is considered minimal and the current epidemiological situation of the virus in pigs does not justify their vaccination with pH1N1 vaccine, according the European...

Economic Impact of the 'Swine Flu' Misnomer
What was believed to have started in April at a pig farm in Mexico and in the United States has now taken its toll across the globe. Countries around the world are negatively impacted by what is known as 'swine flu', a name misleading enough to affect...

New Swine Flu Has Avian Flu Genes
Researchers have identified a new strain of swine influenza, H2N3, which belongs to the group of H2 influenza viruses that last infected humans during the 1957 pandemic. This new strain has a molecular twist: it is composed of avian and swine influenza...
