Swine Flu May Have Started in Asia

According to the New York Times, recent studies have shown that the N1H1 virus, also known as swine flu, may have originated on Asian swine farms, not Mexican ones. The virus would have possibly been transported by a human to North America from there.

I thought this was an incredibly informative article, however a bit bland. It's definitely not a feature article, and talks mostly about the scientific process researchers went through to come up with this theory. The lead is very blunt and gets straight to the point.
