Estimado Sr. Claudio Pérez,
Los cerdos son susceptibles al influenza aviar, aunque no todos los virus de influenza aviar pueden infectar cerdos en condiciones naturales. Los cerdos tambien son susceptibles al influenza humano. De hecho, se han producido algunas epidemias en cerdos en USA en las cuales el agente infeccioso era un influenza humano o un recombinante entre un influenza humano y otro de cerdo. Tambien es posible que el cerdo se infecte con influenza aviar y no muestre sintomas de enfermedad aunque el virus se este replicando activamente. En tal caso, el cerdo puede actuar como un vehiculo para llevar el virus a otras especies. Por eso es muy importante separar los cerdos de la aves y no dejar que los cerdos se alimenten en zonas en las que pudieran exponerse a excreciones fecales de aves.
Espero que le jaya sido util la informacion. Le saluda atte.
Dear Mr. Claudio Pérez,
Pigs are susceptibles Pigs are susceptible to Avian Influenza, even though not every IA viruses may infect pigs in natural conditions. Pigs also are susceptible to Human Influenza. In fact, there have been produced some outbreaks in pigs in USA, where the infectious agent was a Human Influenza or a recombinant among a Human Influenza and a swine one. It is also possible that the pig gets infected with Avian Influenza, but not showing symptoms of disease, even though the virus may be actively replicating. In such case, the pig may act as a carrier of the virus to reach other species. That’s why is so important to separate pigs from birds, not allowing pigs to be fed in areas where they may be exposed to fecal excretions of birds.
I hope it has been useful information. Kind regards,
