So far, this country was the term "swine flu" to be misleading - after all, was never a pig infected with the virus. Now this is obviously different.

In Germany the first time a case of swine flu at a known domestic pig. The Landesuntersuchungsamt Rhineland-Palatinate had established the new H1N1 influenza virus in the animal, said the Environment Ministry in Mainz on Thursday. It is a dead animal on a farm in the Palatinate. It was probably infected by a human.

The operation had been locked, it was said. "There is no reason to get excited," said Minister Margit Conrad (SPD). Because of the large number of sick people in pigs on a finding could be expected sooner or later to have been. This viral infection is not reportable. People can not become infected by pork products, there was no danger in eating pork.

According to the Friedrich-Loeffler Institute for Animal Health, it is about the first case nationwide. "We appeal to all pig farmers who are not" suffering from flu symptoms, if possible, go to their stocks, said spokeswoman Elke Reinking. With flu should avoid contact with pigs. A course of infection in animals but usually undramatic.

Reports of H1N1 infections in pigs so far by many countries including the U.S., where the virus was detected in one animal at a fair in the state of Minnesota. Previously, the disease is already in Argentina and Canada had jumped to pigs.

In Germany there are currently 66 people died in connection with the swine flu (as of 1 December). In about three quarters of them, there is evidence of an underlying illness. "The current data emphasize, however, an increased risk of young children and young people, both of New Influenza A (H1N1) disease, as well as to develop severe disease outcomes, informed the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin.

The vaccinations were more important because the trend is not in the winter can be predicted. The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut are, as in other states, "no evidence of increase in serious adverse effects after vaccination before," reported the Institute. Depending on availability, are now gradually everyone be vaccinated. Vaccination sufficient stand at present.
