Argentina Pig Tests Positive For H1N1 Flu - Government

Thursday June 25th, 2009 / 18h27

BUENOS AIRES -(Dow Jones)- A pig in Argentina has tested positive for
the H1N1 flu, or swine flu, the director of the animal health and
sanitation service Senasa said Thursday.
The animal has recovered but hogs from surrounding areas are being
tested for signs of the disease, Jorge Amaya told local news channel
C5N.

As no outside animals had been moved into the area recently, Senasa is
working on the theory that the pig was made sick through contact with
an infected human, Amaya said.
Argentina has been one of the most seriously affected countries in
South America by the flu.

The government is considering taking sweeping measures to control the
disease. About two dozen deaths have been attributed to the disease,
which appears to be spreading rapidly in the midst of the southern
hemisphere's winter.
