Just wanted to point out that the "FluA" strain being a swine strain
simply means it is a flu virus (avian) that has adapted to infecting
pigs, and also people, etc. It is not solely found in pigs. Could be
in raw pork I guess or chicken meat when everything (guts, trachea,
lungs) is mixed up together - This CDC site gives a great description
of the types of avian flu. There are many - so remember to get flu
shots!
