Summary

Reston ebolavirus was detected for the first time in pigs at commercial farms in the Philippines, with associated illness later linked to PRRS virus co-infection. Six pig handlers and slaughterhouse workers were found to be seropositive but none developed clinical illness.

Why this matters

First documented Reston-strain infection in pigs; raised concern about pork as a potential transmission route despite the species' apparent human non-pathogenicity.
