During H5N1 outbreaks in many mammals and in many areas, Animal-to-human infection in regions close to Thailand Therefore, it is something that must be seriously monitored. Infection has improved in mammals. Personally, I’m worried about the pigs. Because pigs are living organisms that can infect well with influenza viruses and can be a source of new virus strains. Like the 2009 influenza case, it also passed from swine to human.”
