    Can reptiles get the flu
    I have influenza A and I’m worried that it’s contagious to my reptiles. Anyone know if reptiles can get the flu?

    Not entirely accurate given both pigs and birds also carry/transmit/suffer from Influenza A - hence the monikers "swine flu", "bird flu", and "avian flu"
