wow,this isnt good news at all.good thing i live in AZ!if it ever reaches the US ill be long gone in mexico

You have completely misread this article.

You need to re-read the article and change the title of your thread.

There is not pigs in Canada infected with the ebolavirus.

Oh my this isn't good news.... nothing is going right these days

Wow! That's cool... wait what?! Why would anyone do that? That's almost as scary as Plum Island's Animal Bio-lab being moved to Kansas, which is one of the U.S.'s big beef states. I'm starting to think these guys are actually trying to kill us.... and by "starting to think", I mean "know for damn sure".

Doesn't really matter that it isn't being done in Canada. The fact that they're doing it at all anywhere is really wreckless. The "study" mentioned in the article absolutely means they're injecting this bug into animals and then exposing them to other animals for the sake of contagion studies. That's exactly how Lyme Disease got off Plum Island.

Fearmongering.

This is the first paragraph.

Canadian investigators have shown that a species of ebolavirus from Zaire that is highly virulent in humans can replicate in pigs, cause disease, and be transmitted to animals previously unexposed to the virus. The findings are published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases and are now available online. (Please see below for a link to the embargoed study online.)

Pigs ARE NOT infected in Canada.

yeah, it's just saying pigs could carry it and transmit it...the pigs in Canada DON'T HAVE EBOLA...yeah, re-read the very beginning of the article.

At first I was like "OH MAN!! THIS IS BAD!!"

Then I actually read the article like you should have before you posted your thread.

Nothing to see here - move along...just some lab rats talking about the potential of pigs to carry certain strains of Ebola.

No pending pandemic.

Smelling kinda hoax-ee?...unless you change your title

I guess I did put that out there a little strong..then again I did state it was just something I found intresting to read...

This study, led by Gary P. Kobinger, PhD, of the Special Pathogens Program, National Microbiology Laboratory, Public Health Agency of Canada, and Hana Weingartl, PhD, of the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, investigated whether Zaire ebolavirus, like Reston ebolavirus, could replicate and cause disease in pigs and be transmitted to other animals. Using domesticated pigs, the researchers first evaluated virus replication, pathogenicity, and shedding

I Should not have assumed the pigs were still there....Please note as I originally stated, this was not intended to be fear mongering...I just got the privelage to post so I put it out there in my excitement without really putting more into like I should. Lesson learned!

Anybody on that "prestigious team of Phd's and Expert's" remember to check the world wide pig semen batch's

That rights,,, order your pig semen from romco express
and we can have you making runts/babies in no time,,

And remember were WORLD WIDE APPROVED BY,,,garble,,,garble

I don't eat red meat anymore.......and this information just reinforces that habit. We certainly all need to be very careful of our animal consumption.

Holy crap.

You scared the s*$% out of me until I read further and the article its self. I see your replies and know that you didn't intend to fear-monger, but please be careful in the future. Not everyone will read the article you link
