China detected influenza A / H1N1 in dogs

The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture has just received a report from China Agricultural University, saying it has found two cases of dogs infected with influenza A / H1N1 virus.

People who have direct contact with dogs have the ability to create the fastest influenza A / H1N1 infection channel.

Through testing 52 samples of nasal and throat fluids of dogs infected with influenza, the school detected viruses in two of the specimens mentioned above that are similar to human influenza A / H1N1 virus up to 99%. According to China's Ministry of Agriculture, these are the first cases of dogs infected with influenza A / H1N1 in the country.

According to CCTV, Chinese scientists have previously discovered that the influenza A / H1N1 virus has appeared in pigs in Heilongjiang province, which is caused by transporting pigs to pigs during transport. In this discovery, experts say it is possible that this dog has been infected by the owner and they infect the surrounding dogs. The health sector of this country said that the phenomenon of influenza A / H1N1 infection from people to animals is common, but in the opposite direction is still being studied.
