Scientists Find H1N1 Flu Virus in Animals in Africa

My article is about pigs that got the Swine Flu in Africa.  89 percent of their pigs died. Many people in Africa are in poor health and the disease can spread rapidly without anyone noticing. They think that the pigs may have gotten the disease from humans. The last attack of the swine flu was in 2009 the question is why is it here now and why are the pigs getting the Swine flu. Some of the pigs were running wild and it was a shock when the scientists realized that is was the Swine flu. The scientist tested the pig’s blood and they found the virus. In conclusion the scientists found out that the pigs may have gotten the Swine Flu from the people who had gotten it there in the past but they are not so sure if they are right.

My reflection to the article is great. The article clearly explained about the pigs getting the Swine Flu. It also put a lot of extra information which helped me understand everything the article was saying. It also has some information about when the Swine Flu was a problem with humans. When it tells about when the humans had Swine Flu. It had many connections between the pigs and the humans. I also liked how it had many pictures to help me understand better.
