Bats carry many viruses but are asymptomatic. Pigs can contract viruses from other animals, they mutate and then it's passed on to humans. A bat biting a pig is probably the cause of many weird viruses.
You also have to wonder if the African Swine flu running rampant through China is also part of the cause.
