Identification of H2N3 influenza A viruses from swine in the United States

Abstract: Although viruses of each of the 16 influenza A HA subtypes are potential human pathogens, only viruses of the H1, H2, and H3 subtype are known to have been successfully established in humans. H2 influenza viruses have been absent from human circulation since 1968, and as such they pose a substantial human pandemic risk. In this report, we isolate and characterize genetically similar avian/swine virus reassortant H2N3 influenza A viruses isolated from diseased swine from two farms in the United States. These vi… Show more

“…Segments of the "triple reassortant internal gene" (TRIG) cassette were acquired from swine, avian, and human influenza A lineages [1]. Occasional reassortants have emerged in swine with novel surface glycoproteins with the TRIG [5,7]. Five of the six gene segments which encode internal proteins in the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus were derived from this North American TRIG lineage [8].…”

“…This may be of particular relevance to the evolution of human-to-human transmissible avian influenza, as suggested by genetic analyses in which both avian and swine influenza viral elements can be detected in farm workers (Gray et al, 2007;Ma et al, 2007), as well as in strains from human outbreaks, including 1918 strain (Vana and Westover, 2008).…”

“…Swine influenza is known to be caused by the influenza A subtypes H1N1 (Shin et al, 2006), H1N2 (Shin et al, 2006), H3N1 (Shin et al, 2006), H3N2 (Ma et al, 2007), and H2N 3 (Ma et al, 2007). In pigs, three influenza A virus subtypes (H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2) are the most common strains worldwide (Ma et al, 2007).…”

“…In pigs, three influenza A virus subtypes (H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2) are the most common strains worldwide (Ma et al, 2007). In the United States, the H1N1 subtype was exclusively prevalent among the swine populations before 1998; however, since late August 1998, H3N2 subtypes have been isolated from the pigs.…”
