Experts say a combination of viruses that has killed about 300 pigs in Guangdong in the past 10 days will not threaten  humans.

A preliminary report by Ministry of Agriculture experts yesterday said a combination of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome,   swine fever and porcine circovirus   caused the bacterial infection.

'Until now, among the seven towns in our district, only Silao has found dead pigs,' said Chen Yuwen , a spokesman  for Yunfu's  Yuncheng district.

'We did not see any spread. Eperts from the central government said it was not a serious epidemic.'

Mr Chen said  20 tonnes of disinfectant for the infected area and 2  million vaccineshad been preparetd to treat  pigs in the area.
