متن کاملControl of endemic swine flu persistence in farrow-to-finish pig farms: a stochastic metapopulation modeling assessment
Swine influenza viruses (swIAVs) are known to persist endemically in farrow-to-finish pig farms, leading to repeated swine flu outbreaks in successive batches of pigs at a similar age (mostly around 8 weeks of age). This persistence in European swine herds involves swIAVs from European lineages including H1avN1, H1huN2, H3N2, the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus and their reassortants. The specific pop...

We need to ensure that we improve the techniques used in trying to decrease the spread of infection-both in the community and ...
