Siberia scrambles to contain swine fever after infected shipment Russian authorities scramble to seize swine fever-infected sausages after getting test results from an eight-tonne shipment that had crossed the border from Mongolia. The agriculture watchdog in the Siberian region of Buryatia said in a press release it would destroy the infected meat that was imported on January 30. A store chain in Ulan-Ude, the region's main city, was offering to give customers twice the amount they paid for any sausage returned. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
