The ecology of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has significantly changed
from sporadic outbreaks in terrestrial poultry to persistent circulation in terrestrial and aquatic …

Abstract Background Influenza A Viruses (IAV) are endemic pathogens of significant
concern in humans and multiple keystone livestock species. Widespread morbidity in swine …

Background. Variant influenza virus infections are rare but may have pandemic potential if
person-to-person transmission is efficient. We describe the epidemiology of a multistate …

Swine influenza virus (SIV) has a strong tropism for pig respiratory mucosa, which consists
of a mucus layer, epithelium, basement membrane and lamina propria. Sialic acids present …

Pigs play an important role in influenza A virus (IAV) epidemiology because they support
replication of human, avian, and swine origin viruses and act as an IAV reservoir for pigs …

Influenza A virus infections are widespread in swine herds across the world. Influenza
negatively affects swine health and production, and represents a significant threat to public …

Over the past decade, pandemics caused by pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza virus in
2009 and severe acute respiratory syndrome virus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2019 have …

Background The emergence of the 2009 influenza pandemic virus with a swine origin
stressed the importance of improving influenza surveillance in swine populations. The …

Influenza A virus (IAV) in swine is a pathogen that causes a threat to the health as well as to
the production of swine. Moreover, swine can spread this virus to other species including …

Recent modelling and empirical work on influenza A virus (IAV) suggests that piglets play an
important role as an endemic reservoir. The objective of this study is to test intervention …
