World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), experts say , animals infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza virus is normal, so far, there is no evidence that the animals in the influenza A H1N1 human transmission of influenza to play a special role. According to Influenza A H1N1 influenza virus features, heated to 70 ℃, the virus can be inactivated, as long as cooking cooked, pork products there is no risk of virus spreading.

(Reporter quiet) yesterday released by the Information Office of the Ministry of Agriculture, November 19, the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory pairs of cities in Heilongjiang Province, a slaughterhouse pigs were detected in four samples positive for influenza A H1N1 influenza etiology.

Gene sequence analysis showed that the virus with the current population of the Influenza A H1N1 pandemic influenza 99% homology, belong to the same kind of virus, the virus does not mutate. According to expert analysis, samples of this pig to detect the virus may be related to pig slaughterhouse in transit or in contact with people infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza of cases.

In April this year, an outbreak of Influenza A H1N1 outbreak in North America since the Ministry of Agriculture attaches great importance to Influenza A H1N1 influenza prevention and control work, in accordance with the State Department and respond to influenza A H1N1 influenza joint prevention and control working mechanism of the unified plan, carry out surveillance and epidemiological investigations of live pigs. Since the fall into the Ministry of Agriculture has organized and associated laboratories across the country throughout the clinical observation of 87.88 million pigs and found no clinical symptoms of influenza A H1N1 influenza. Laboratory testing 21102 samples, are not in breeding areas to the Influenza A H1N1 influenza virus detection.

The world has 13 countries and regions have in vivo detection of influenza A H1N1 influenza viruses.

Council of Agriculture also reported that the general hiding lying swine flu influenza
Updated: 2009/11/22 04:09 〔reporter Zhong Lihua, compile tube Shuping / Taipei Taitung Sekiyama 1〕 farms were confirmed positive for H1N1 in early novel influenza virus, on the 16th the night to lift movement control, anti-review Council on the 17th to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) informed closed. However, three of this outbreak for communication of information, do not mention the new H1N1 influenza virus, only to inform the general pig H1N1 virus, experts have concluded, dishonest, very wrong to the detriment of Taiwan's international image.


Three say this is an ordinary flu


Pigs during the winter will appear coughing, sneezing, the "flu", the general swine influenza can be divided into H1N1, H1N2, H3N2 III, H1N1 in the A-type is the traditional swine influenza. Prevention and Quarantine Bureau on the 5th of this month released a new pig farms infected with H1N1 influenza gene sequences by comparison with the human H1N1 virus, similarity of up to 97. 5%, with the past tradition of a typical pig H1N1 is different.


Prevention and Quarantine Bureau in swine flu outbreak, the three test pigs virus and on the 5th, respectively, on the 13th and notified on the 17th OIE, but only inform the A/H1N1 influenza (swine flu tradition), not like in other countries use "2009 pandemic H1N1 (Pandemic Influenza A H1N1 (2009)" notification did not mention with the human gene sequence similarity level.


Prevention and Quarantine Bureau explained that, generally do not have to inform the swine flu, OIE see the communication of information should know that a new human influenza, and the Council informed in accordance with the Canada May 2 the first case occurred in a timely manner. After the briefing, OIE has not yet requested the amendment, indicating that there is no communication problem.


However, according to OIE data, Canada's first communications is the "Novel A/H1N1 2009 influenza virus", National Taiwan University professor of veterinary medicine Yorihide Sui said that Canada has particular reference to the Novel (new) for Notes, anti-CIQ This is indeed "too should not be, "but I am afraid that" mislead "the world disease control experts, the future in tracking the epidemic, data use error.


Ago, the COA Chairman, National Taiwan University, Adjunct Professor Lee Ching believes that preventing CIQ should speak out the truth, the epidemic will help countries to disease prevention and transparent.http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url.../78/1vfjq.html

Ministry of Agriculture: Heilongjiang pigs suffering from a sense of people with access to the relevant

At 08:59 on November 22, 2009
Source: China News Net 21, released by Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, said on the 19th, the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory pairs of cities in Heilongjiang Province, a slaughterhouse pigs were detected in four samples positive for influenza A H1N1 influenza etiology. Gene sequence analysis showed that the virus with the current population of the Influenza A H1N1 pandemic influenza 99% homology, belong to the same kind of virus, the virus does not mutate.

Expert analysis, samples of this pig to detect the virus may be related to pig slaughterhouse in transit or in contact with people infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza of cases.

It is reported that in April this year, an outbreak of Influenza A H1N1 outbreak in North America since the Ministry of Agriculture attaches great importance to Influenza A H1N1 influenza prevention and control work, to carry out a comprehensive disease surveillance and epidemiological investigations of live pigs to develop contingency plans, and strengthen emergency preparedness, and conduct vaccine research pigs to guide an integrated pig breeding farm to strengthen epidemic prevention management.

Since the fall into the Ministry of Agriculture has organized and associated laboratories across the country throughout the clinical observation of 87 million pigs and found no clinical symptoms of influenza A H1N1 influenza. Laboratory testing of more than 20000 samples, are not in breeding areas to detect influenza A H1N1 influenza viruses.

Prevention and control work for the current grim situation, the Ministry of Agriculture will increase prevention and control efforts to prevent the further deployment of pigs infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza in the event of a pig infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza virus, and there is an outbreak will be temporarily taken to an animal disease prevention and control measures.

Pork 'safe to eat' despite infection

Swine at a slaughterhouse in Heilongjiang province tested positive for the virus last Thursday, the Ministry of Agriculture revealed over the weekend.
Four positive samples were discovered at the abattoir in Shuangcheng by a local flu laboratory, China News Service quoted a ministry statement as saying.
Officials suggested the cause of infection could have been the animals' close contact with humans during transportation.
Gene sequence analysis showed the virus suffered by the pigs is a 99-percent match with the human H1N1 strain. No mutation was found, the government statement said.
It is the first such infection in China, although there have already been reports in 13 other countries and regions, Beijing Times reported yesterday.However, experts with the World Health Organization (WHO) insisted well-prepared pork is still safe to eat because the virus cannot survive temperatures of 70 C and above.
China consumed more than 46 million tons of pork last year, around half of the world's total.
Since the outbreak of H1N1 in April, prevention and monitoring of swine has been a priority for the government. The virus was originally known as "swine flu" before it was renamed to dispel any links with pigs.
The information office of the Ministry of Agriculture was unable to comment yesterday, but in a statement last week officials said authorities across China had checked about 87 million pigs, but no influenza virus had been detected.
Meanwhile, four patients in North Carolina in the United States tested positive over the weekend for a new H1N1 strain that is resistant to oseltamivir, or Tamiflu, AP reported.
Tamiflu is one of two flu medicines being used in the fight against H1N1 and health officials have been watching for signs of the virus mutating, making the drugs ineffective.
More than 50 resistant cases have been reported since April, including 21 in the US. Almost all in the US were isolated, officials with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
London-based BBC reported five Tamiflu-resistant cases in Wales last week.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health also said it had detected mutations in three positive samples. The viruses were isolated from the country's first two fatal cases and one other patient.
Norwegian scientists have analyzed samples from more than 70 patients, but only in three have mutations been detected. This suggests the mutation is not widespread, say scientists.
Laboratories in Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine and the US have all detected similar mutations, with the earliest being in April.
Although information is incomplete, the mutations were detected in fatal, as well as mild cases. Experts said the significance of the finding is unclear.
As of Friday, the virus had killed 6,770 people worldwide since April, with 520 deaths in the past week, according to figures released by the WHO yesterdayhttp://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2...nt_9019617.htm

comment: Thanks again Treyfish, you do us all proud
your report has more info than this more official source, and of course don't they say 'it is safe to eat if the proper precautions in slaughter, cleaning and cooking are always observed ' *( And they sure do claim to have sequenced the RNA yet unless I'm unaware they claim to have them once again without releasing the sequences. China is one of many places that new co-infections and recombinations will be occurring because of lax animal husbandry practices, mixing of people with livestock and mixing of swine with poultry and every other living thing for sale at markets.
