Swine flu in Mizoram confirmed

By The Assam Tribune

AIZAWL, July 3 - Swine flu has struck Champai town on the Indo-Myanmar border and has claimed the lives of a number of pigs and piglets in the last one month.

Mizoram Animal Husbandry and Veterinary department director Saingura Sailo today said that the second laboratory test at College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry at Selesih had confirmed the incidence of swine flu.

There were fears that the pigs had died of the dreaded Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, which had claimed the lives of over 4,000 pigs in six Mizoram districts last year and over 3,000 in 2013. � PTI
