What would be the consequences for an importing country of importing pigs carrying pandemic H1N1 2009 virus?
There would be little consequence of importing pigs carrying pandemic H1N1 2009 virus. Clinical infection of pigs with pandemic H1N1 2009 is generally rather uneventful and infected pigs make a full recovery. In large groups of pigs the virus may circulate for some time but the impact on health and productivity is not significant.
