                    [Title] => Pig virus seen as culprit hog deaths in Luzon farms
                    [Summary] => A Filipino scientist has warned that a virus, present in pigs worldwide, is associated with a disease that has a mortality rate of as much as 100 percent and may be the cause of unexplained deaths in pig farms in Luzon last year. 


Dr. Romeo Sanchez, a veterinary science expert, said the deaths of pigs in Batangas, Bulacan, Tarlac and Laguna in 2003 were "suspect" since farmers told him that these pigs showed symptoms "similar to hog cholera" but the corresponding vaccine was not effective in preventing the deaths.
