Swine Flu in Canadian Hogs Confirmed by World Agency (Update1)

By Robert T. Greene
May 3 (Bloomberg) -- The flu virus found in Canadian pigs is no different from the new swine-flu virus being tracked in humans, the World Health Organization said today in Geneva.
The animals are recovering, along with a farm worker, the agency said today on a conference call with reporters, saying the human-to-beast transmission was “no big surprise.”
The organization said there was no need to cull herds anywhere in the world.
