France: Résavip - Review of operations and surveillance results for 2016
The visits detected type A swine influenza viruses (SIVs) in almost half of the cases studied (44.7%).

Influenza herd-level prevalence and seasonality in breed-to-wean pig farms in the midwestern United States
Influenza is a costly disease for pig producers and understanding its epidemiology is critical to control it.
Evolutionary dynamics of influenza a viruses in US exhibition swine
The unexpected frequency of viral exchange between commercial and exhibition swine raises questions about the understudied interface between these populations.
Influenza A viruses within swine farrow-to-wean farms: emergence, persistence, and subsidence of diverse viral genotypes
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are endemic in swine and represent a public health risk. However, there is limited information on the genetic diversity of swine IAVs within farrow-to-wean farms, which is where most pigs are born.
Utility of snout wipe samples for influenza a virus surveillance in exhibition swine populations
Although further investigation and refinement of the sampling method is needed, results indicate that snout wipes will facilitate convenient and undisruptive IAV surveillance in pigs at agricultural fairs.
Evaluation of an electrostatic particle ionization technology for decreasing airborne pathogens in pigs
The reduction in infectious agents in the air by the EPI technology could potentially decrease the microbial exposure for pigs.
Pigs, people, and flu
Exhibition pigs should be isolated from herd mates and observed for clinical signs of influenza for at least seven days after an exhibition to prevent transmission to pigs that did not attend the fair.
Clinical case: Multifactorial respiratory process at nursery and finisher
This case report highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to achieve a correct differential diagnosis.
New H1N2 Influenza strain shows signs of spreading
A veterinary Pathologist with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine reports an emerging H1N2 strain of influenza, first detected in 2013 in Manitoba, has begun to spread throughout western Canada.
Effect of herd size on subclinical infection of swine in Vietnam with influenza A viruses
We demonstrate the asymptomatic circulation of IAV-S in the Vietnamese pig population.
Assessment of different samples to detect main swine respiratory pathogens
The data present bronchial scraping as an equally effective or even better alternative to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for detecting main porcine respiratory disease complex agents.
Influenza A virus in swine: situation in European countries
In the wake of the so-called “swine flu” a European surveillance program was carried out in 2013-2015: H1N1pdm is present in several European countries, and at particularly high prevalence in Britain and Ireland.
Immune responses and virus shedding in pigs following different A(H1N1)09 infection routes
The differences in shedding pattern and cytokine and immune responses are important for studies of disease pathogenesis and assessment of vaccine protective efficacy.
Are people living near modern swine production facilities at increased risk of Influenza virus infection?
Findings suggest that concentrated swine feeding operations amplified transmission of influenza during years in which H1N1 was circulating.
Distinct iImmune responses and virus shedding in pigs following infection with A(H1N1)09
Our data shows that natural infection by contact induces remarkably high innate and adaptive immune response, although the animals were exposed to a very low virus dose.
