The OIE strongly counsels against the
culling of pigs in the current situation with A/H1N1 influenza that
started in North America .
Scientific information currently
available to the OIE and partner organisations indicates that this
novel A/H1N1 influenza virus is being transmitted amongst humans; there
is no evidence of infection in pigs, nor of humans acquiring infection
directly from pigs.
