A pig in Oregon has tested positive for H5N1 bird flu, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday .
The pig was from a backyard farming operation that had a "mix of poultry and livestock" The farm has been placed under quarantine to prevent further spread of bird flu.
Experts say pigs are a known "mixing vessel" for influenza A viruses.
Scarpino : "We have a serious H5N1 problem in the U.S. that isn’t going away anytime soon" The virus did not originate from an infected dairy farm, he says.
