FORT COLLINS, Colo.—U.S. Sen. Mark Udall says the spread of swine flu stresses the importance of investing in research on infectious diseases.
The Democrat toured an infectious disease center at Colorado State University on Saturday and talked with professors about the flu. CSU researchers study diseases that can be spread from animals to people. They’re called zoonotic diseases.
Scientists believe the swine flu outbreaks worldwide are a strain of flu that originated in pigs. The virus has sickened hundreds worldwide, including at least two people in Colorado.
