Argentina declares emergency after flu found in pigs

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's government declared on Friday a national sanitary emergency due to the presence of the new H1N1 flu virus in pigs.

Earlier this month, animal health officials said workers at a pig farm in Buenos Aires province were suspected of having passed the new strain onto the animals.
