Brazil should immediately do a study comparing Brazilian piglets with the Chronic Swine Fever Flavivirus and Brazilian human babies with Zika.
"Younger piglets may appear chilled, shiver and huddle together"

"If the virus crosses the placenta before the piglets' immune systems have developed they may be born apparently healthy although possibly weak and may grow on to be persistent carriers without at first showing clinical signs. They shed virus so they are a menace to other pigs. At several weeks or months of age they may develop typical clinical signs but these are likely to be milder, last longer and without the high temperatures. Virus that infects the piglets in the uterus may cause other effects, namely, death, mummification, abortion or the birth of weak piglets some of which may be deformed.

"Therefore, it is particularly important to consider CSFV infections while investigating herds presenting with unexplained reproductive failures that include clinical manifestations in piglets such as congenital tremor or congenital abnormalities."

"Swine with the mild form of CSF may not have any clinical signs of disease. These swine will persistently shed the virus in their feces exposing the rest of the herd. Often, the only sign of a mild CSF infection in the herd is poor reproductive performance including stillbirths or mummies, piglets born with persistent tremors or malformed organs and piglets born without signs of the disease that become ill months later."

Are pigs the amplifying host of Zika Virus in Brazil and other areas with Zika-related disease and birth deformitities?
"JEV [Japanese encephalitis virus a flavavirus] is widespread across Asia and the Pacific region where it is maintained in an enzootic cycle in Asia between Culex spp. mosquitoes and pigs or aquatic birds as amplifying hosts."
