How does swine flu spread among pigs?

Posted in May 8, 2009 ¬ 12:53 amh.Joseph MaddenNo Comments »

Swine flu viruses are thought to be spread mostly through close contact among pigs and possibly from contaminated objects moving between infected and uninfected pigs. Herds with continuous swine flu infections and herds that are vaccinated against swine flu may have sporadic disease, or may show only mild or no symptoms of infection.
