Abstract

Swine flu surveillance in pigs Pigs are recognized as important 'mixing vessels' in which influenza viruses can undergo reassortment, but despite the resulting threat to human health there has been a general lack of adequate virus surveillance in pig populations. Malik Peiris and colleagues present a large data set of hundreds of swine influenza isolates and swine sera collected over 12 years of systematic surveillance in southern China, supplemented with samples stretching back 34 years. The data set provides a detailed picture of the evolutionary dynamics of swine influenza in this region.
