SwIine flu has to be cultured and then both anti-body and electron microscoped for identification of the virus structure.  Lotsof strains of H1 flu, the latest variant being N1 or later.  It is possible that either swine flu jumped to equine or the ehv jumped to people as innfluenza is common to both.

I got my shots, and Blackie got his.  Cogins are now good for 2 years in NJ.  The time to do it is in the laate winter or very early spring before the biting bigs come out here.

Colder the  winter the better.

Kenneth Paul, 35, Estancia, N.M., an NCHA trainer, passed away on Saturday after he had competed and placed in two classes at the Western National Championships in Ogden, Utah. According to reports, he got sick on Thursday and died Saturday morning. There are reports that doctors are thinking it was the swine flu and an autopsy has been done; however, the results have not yet been received.

Paul, worked for Cyle Sharp on a ranch in New Mexico. Sharp is the same man that June Mitchell worked for while he was alive. In Ogden, he finished third in the Open Division riding Badger Poo for Stephen Harrington, Estancia, N.M., earning $3,507. He was also a finalist in the $3,000 Novice Horse riding Catsblue Boon, owned by him and his wife Shauna, where he took home an additional $750.

According to the NCHA web site, funeral services will be held Saturday, May 14 at 2 p.m. in Moriarty, N.M. at Lonnie Wright’s Rockin K Arena, located six miles north of Moriarty on NM 41, on the east side of the road.

Have not seen the official word on the autopsy of Kenneth Paul regarding what doctors suspected being the swine flu regarding Kenneth Paul, however with the news release above, Utah is definitely having human as well as equine health concerns

 

(wash your hands....)  Dont know how long it takes for Swne Flu to be verified as a cause of death from the time of autopsy.....
