Longitudinal study of swine influenza virus infection in a farrow to finish farm

With the objective of determining the dynamic of influenza virus (SIV) infection in a closed cycle farm, investigators from CReSA (Spain) selected a complete batch of piglets weaned at 3 weeks (n=121) from a farm of sows that tested positive for SIV antibodies. They took nasal swabs and blood samples weekly, from week 3 to week 13, and then at weeks 15, 17, 20 and 24. On each visit to the farm, a clinical inspection of the sows was carried out.

Pfizer: FluSure XP® updated to further help protect against circulating SIV strains

Swine influenza virus (SIV) continues to evolve and challenge swine herds. Pfizer Animal Health has responded by updating FluSure XP® to include an H1N2 strain.

Role of IFN-α during the acute stage of a swine influenza virus infection

To investigate the role of IFN-α in influenza, the swine IFN-α neutralizing monoclonal antibody (Ab) K9 was applied in a swine model of influenza A virus infection. First, the optimal dose and route for administration of the IFN-α neutralizing Abs was determined. Based on those results, the effect of the Abs on a swine influenza virus infection was investigated.

Transmission of influenza A viruses between pigs and people, Iowa, 2002–2004

Swine workers had serologic evidence for infection with both swine and human influenza viruses and were exposed to diverse influenza virus strains circulating in pigs. Influenza virus surveillance among pigs and swine workers should be encouraged to better understand cross-species transmission and diversity of influenza viruses at the human-swine interface.

Experimental infection with H1N1 european swine influenza virus protects pigs from an infection with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 human influenza virus

Animals firstly infected with SwH1N1 virus and latter infected with pH1N1 exhibited undetectable viral RNA load in nasal swabs and lungs after challenge with pH1N1, indicating a cross-protective effect between both strains.

Swine influenza virus reassorted with Pandemic H1N1 virus isolated from pig

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) had found in its regular influenza virus surveillance programme that one sample taken from a pig at the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse on January 7 contained a virus which was essentially a swine influenza virus but had picked up a pandemic H1N1 gene by genetic reassortment. There is no cause for alarm for public health and pork remains safe for consumption. Government is closely monitoring developments and shall continue to keep the public informed.
