In early March 2013 over 16,000 dead pigs were found in the Shanghai Songjiang section of the Huangpu River, which supplies the city of Shanghai, China with some of its drinking water. The pigs were dumped by farmers in neighbouring Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, a major pig farming area that is upstream of Shanghai. The BBC reported that some pig corpses were infected by porcine circovirus, in line with comments from Lu Hongzhou, Secretary of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center's Party committee.
