#1 lets see. There is the known cycle of ducks -> ponds -> fish -> pigs -> people that creates most flus. So this one is spotted at the pig tap point. One would expect a pond with fish having these genes and maybe some duck flying about.

You wouldn't need exported pigs...

#2 3dc the point is that a gene sequence somehow got from a lab into Skor pigs. Niman knows his stuff when it comes to this topic and seems to have found a smoking gun.

#3 I got the point... just where there are pigs in Asia look for ponds fish and birds to be a factor too. If it is in the pigs... some pond in NK is filled with it.
