Rapid detection and subtyping of European swine influenza viruses in porcine clinical samples by haemagglutinin‐ and neuraminidase‐specific tetra‐ and triplex real‐time <scp>RT</scp>‐<scp>PCR</scp>s

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A diversifying pool of mammalian-adapted influenza A viruses (IAV) with largely unknown zoonotic potential is maintained in domestic swine populations worldwide. The most recent human influenza pandemic in 2009 was caused by a virus with genes originating from IAV isolated from swine. Swine influenza viruses (SIV) are widespread in European domestic pig populations and evolve dynamically. Knowledge...
