Superbug May Be Coming from American Pigs!
"Researchers at the Agriculture Department and the Department of Health
and Human Services reported that testing of hundreds of livestock and
retail meats turned up the same colistin-resistant bacteria in a sample
from a pig intestine in the United States. The USDA said it is working
to identify the farm the pig came from."

What else are American pigs infected with that endanger human health? Has anybody tested American pigs for strains of HHV-6, HHV-7 and HHV-8? How about Zika Virus?

Are pigs and pork infected with variants of HHV-6, HHV-7 and HHV-8? Is the pig version of these viruses causing the PRRS epidemic of immune deficiency in pigs all over the world? Is PRRS really a disease that is connected to African Swine Fever Virus? Are Porcine Lymhoroic Herps Viruses which are found in pigs afflicted with PRRS being confused with ASFV? Would pigs make the best model for HHV-6, HHV-7 and HHV-8 treatment experiments? A lot of issues need to be sorted out.
