Travel far to air, a total of twenty seven million hogs are being slaughtered in this facility annually and spread out to countries like Australia, New York and California.
The influenza H1N1 virus is causing the infection. The H and N letter refers to the proteins of the virus which differentiates a specific virus from the other subtypes. While influenza virus is not a new, the previous virus has mutated and has changed its genes. The new virus is able to pass to other person.
