Abstract:
We report zoonotic transmission of Eurasian avian-like swine influenza A(H1N1) virus from pigs to a farmer. The pigs and farmer experienced influenza-like illness. Whole-genome sequencing revealed >99.9% viral sequence identity between hosts. Our findings highlight the risk posed by enzootic swine influenza A virus and the need for genomic and epidemiologic surveillance.
