Updated: Chinese scientists warns of new virus in pigs
MaxTech reports shows Chinese scientists warnings on a new virus in pigs with high pandemic risk
The scientists found a deadly virus in pigs in China as they studied different viruses from 2011 to 2018 and they advised that those who work in the swine industry need to be closely monitored to prevent another outbreak
According to them, a lot of people who share proximity with pig farms are at greater risk of contracting the virus, saying it has become even more infectious and dangerous to humans and needs to be closely monitored so it does not become another pandemic.
Reuters, however, reports that the study by the scientists said the virus threat is not imminent. The discovery was made when a team of researchers assessed influenza viruses found in pigs from 2011 to 2018.
It was also discovered that people who work on pig farms have a high amount of the virus in their bloodstreams.
There was also the fear associated with the risk of the virus affecting Chinese regions where many live closely with farms, slaughterhouses, and wet markets. It should be noted that in 2009, China restricted international flights so that the outbreak of avian H1N1 does not affect other countries.
