PED Investigation Finds Similar Virus In China
The US Department of Agriculture says the porcine epidemic
diarrhea virus nearly matches the DNA of a virus found in China
and was likely carried into the United States on reusable tote bags.
A special investigation began last summer into the possible
sources of the virus that killed more than 8-million baby pigs in
2013 and 2014.
Investigators determined that the tote bags -- called Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Containers -- best fit the criteria for entry into
the United States and spread across the country.
The woven, plastic fibre bags were reused and often not cleaned,
the report said.
Researchers looking at US emergency-room data say over a 16-year
period, from 1997 to 2012, says nearly 17,000 people were
treated for zip line-related injuries, including broken bones, cuts
and sprains -- and most occurred in the study's last four years.
Industry representatives claim the study is alarmist and that zip
lines are safer than driving a car.
The study is published in today's ``American Journal of Emergency
Medicine.''
