One of the reasons China came to the USA and purchased entire processing plants for pork and shipment to the homeland is because USA animals are not sick or carrying disease. The USA requires all kinds of vaccinations for animals in contact with people. The USA wildlife never carries the kind of diseases seen in China because there are wildlife managers that keep watch for any indication of disease. This is ridiculous from a country that wants to be a world leader and equal to First World nations.
...Vaccines contain antigens (click here) from viruses, bacteria, bacterial toxins, or parasites. They are given to pigs, usually by injection, to stimulate an immune response which will protect the pigs against later natural infection with the organism from which the vaccine was derived. Most stimulate both a humoral response and a cell-mediated response.
Vaccines can be live, containing living organisms which will multiply in the pig, or inactivated, containing only killed organisms which will not multiply in the pig.
In live vaccines the organisms has usually been attenuated (i.e. its virulence has been reduced) so that although it will multiply in the pig it will not normally cause any cause disease. Examples are the PRRS vaccine (although some may cause mild reactions), aujeszky's disease (pseudorabies) vaccines and classical swine fever vaccines....
The avian flu (click here) is still alive and well BUT there is also a vaccine for it. So why are areas still effected by the avian flu using the vaccine? There should be no culling necessary anymore now that there is a vaccine for avian flu.
Causes of Bubonic Plague. The Plague is the same organism as the Bubonic Plague or the Black Death. I didn't name it the Black Death, the Victorian ear did. Needless to say, the name has been changed.
Plague (click here) is a serious bacterial infection that's transmitted primarily by fleas. The organism that causes plague, Yersinia pestis, lives in small rodents found most commonly in rural and semirural areas of Africa, Asia and the United States. The organism is transmitted to humans who are bitten by fleas that have fed on infected rodents or by humans handling infected animals....
The plague bacteria, (click here) Yersinia pestis, is transmitted to humans through the bites of fleas that have previously fed on infected animals, such as:
- Rats
- Mice
- Squirrels
- Rabbits
- Prairie dogs
- Chipmunks
- Voles
The bacteria can also enter your body if a break in your skin comes into contact with an infected animal's blood. Domestic cats and dogs can become infected with plague from flea bites or from eating infected rodents.
Pneumonic plague, which affects the lungs, is spread by inhaling infectious droplets coughed into the air by a sick animal or person....
