swine influenza virus in man. zoonosis or human pandemic? 197659086
swine influenza virus and the recycling of influenza-a viruses in man.sera collected in 1967 and 1972 from people in the 0-100 age-group showed haemagglutination-inhibition (h.i.) antibody to swine virus a/iowa/15/30 (hsw1n1) in greatest number and with highest titre in people born before 1918. a slight decrease was observed from 1967 to 1972 in the number of sera with antibody to swine virus and in the height of the titres. the recently isolated a/new jersey/10/76 (hsw1n1) virus showed a result comparable to that of the swine/1930 virus in sera of 1972. on the an ...197659252
evaluation of 6-azauridine and 5-iododeoxyuridine in the treatment of experimental viral infections.the potential antiviral activity of 6-azauridine and 5-iododeoxyuridine was evaluated in a coordinated study at five institutions. experimental models in five species, the mouse, rabbit, swine, cat, and ferret, were established with use of 10 viruses: herpesvirus hominis types 1 and 2, murine cytomegalovirus, vaccinia virus, shope fibroma virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, swine influenza virus, feline viral rhinotracheitis virus, feline panleukopenia virus, and ferret distemper virus. ...1976180189
investigations on the involvement of swine influenza a virus (hsw1n1) in the influenza outbreak recorded in a town of romania during the 1976--1977 winter season.seroepidemiological investigations performed with 1,620 serum samples and serodiagnostic tests with 166 paired sera demonstrated that swine influenza virus type a/new jersey 8/76 (hsw1n1) played no role in the epidemiology of human influenza in a large town of romania during 1977.1978567886
identification and preliminary antigenic analysis of swine influenza-like viruses isolated during an influenza outbreak at fort dix, new jersey.the sequence of events and the laboratory procedures that resulted in the identification of swine influenza-like viruses isolated during an influenza outbreak at fort dix, new jersey in january and february of 1976 are described. preliminary antigenic analysis suggested that the isolates from fort dix are closely related to a 1975 isolate of swine influenza virus and distinguishable from earlier swine influenza strains.1977606762
antigenic variant of swine influenza virus causing proliferative and necrotizing pneumonia in pigs.a new antigenic variant of swine influenza virus was isolated from the lungs of pigs experiencing respiratory problems in 7 different swine herds in quebec. pigs of different ages were affected, and the main clinical signs were fever, dyspnea, and abdominal respiration. coughing was not a constant finding of the syndrome. at necropsy, macroscopic lesions included the overall appearance of pale animals, general lymphadenopathy, hepatic congestion, and consolidation of the lungs. histopathologic f ...19921333815
the first isolation of swine h1n1 influenza viruses from pigs in thailand.two influenza a viruses were isolated from pigs in thailand in january 1988 during the early febrile stage of an influenza-like illness. the isolates contained hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens related to those of swine h1n1 influenza virus. this result based on the virus isolation is compatible with the epizootiological evidence that, unlike the human influenza with peak activity in summer (may-july), swine influenza virus is prevalent in the winter season (november-january) in thailand. ...19911648899
outbreaks in quebec pig farms of respiratory and reproductive problems associated with encephalomyocarditis virus.encephalomyocarditis virus (emcv) was isolated from tissues of aborted fetuses and weaned and suckling piglets from 4 different pig farms in quebec. the farms were experiencing reproductive failure in sows of different parities concomitant to respiratory problems in suckling and postweaning piglets. at necropsy, gross lesions were confined to the lung and consisted of pulmonary congestion and edema of various degrees. lesions of multifocal interstitial to proliferative pneumonia were found in th ...19911662074
laboratory characterization of a swine influenza virus isolated from a fatal case of human influenza.a swine influenza virus-like type a (h1n1) virus, designated a/wisconsin/3523/88, was isolated in september 1988 from a wisconsin woman who had died with primary viral pneumonia. antigenic analyses with hemagglutinin-specific monoclonal antibodies and postinfection ferret serum indicated that the hemagglutinin of a/wisconsin/3523/88 was antigenically closely related to viruses currently circulating in swine. genetic analysis of the a/wisconsin/3523/88 virus by rna fingerprinting and partial rna ...19892754013
evolutionary pathways of the pa genes of influenza a viruses.nucleotide sequences of the pa genes of influenza a viruses, isolated from a variety of host species, were analyzed to determine the evolutionary pathways of these genes and the host specificity of the genes. results of maximum parsimony analysis of the nucleotide sequences indicate at least five lineages for the pa genes. those from human strains represent a single lineage, whereas the avian genes appear to have evolved as two lineages--one comprising genes from many kinds of birds (e.g., chick ...19892800339
response of calves to exposure with swine influenza virus.in calves inoculated with live swine influenza virus (siv) a/sw/il/75 (h1n1) intranasally, siv was isolated for 7 days, and respiratory tract disease was observed. antibody was detected in serum of inoculated calves from postinoculation day 9, and virus-neutralization antibody was demonstrated on postinoculation days 14 and 21. the primary response was low, but readily differentiated from the secondary response after calves were challenge exposed with homologous siv. pneumonic lesions were obser ...19872820279

antigenic stability of h3 influenza viruses in the domestic duck population of southern china.an antigenic analysis was carried out on 145 duck influenza virus isolates of the h3 haemagglutinin subtype obtained over five years continuous surveillance from the region of southern china, a hypothetical influenza epicentre. this was done using a panel of twelve monoclonal antibodies raised to an early human strain of the h3 subtype. we demonstrate the existence of an extensive range of antigenic profiles, broadly similar but not identical to the human h3 strain, which persisted over the five ...19902222188
fatal swine influenza pneumonia during late pregnancy.serious morbidity or death from swine influenza infection is unusual in the immunocompetent host. we present a fatal case of pneumonia caused by this virus in a previously healthy 32-year-old woman during her third trimester of pregnancy, and review all published case reports of swine influenza in united states civilians. pregnancy may be a predisposing factor to fulminant infection with swine influenza virus.19902153372
conjunctivitis associated with a mycoplasma-like organism in swine.a midwestern producer reported high incidence of conjunctivitis and keratoconjunctivitis in a herd of crossbred finishing swine. complete necropsy was performed on 3 pigs with bilateral mucopurulent conjunctivitis and chemosis; other gross lesions were not seen. mycoplasma sp was isolated from conjunctival swab specimens obtained from 1 pig; small numbers of streptococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated from conjunctival swab specimens from all 3 pigs. neither swine influenza v ...19912010341
swine influenza virus infections. transmission from ill pigs to humans at a wisconsin agricultural fair and subsequent probable person-to-person transmission.in september 1988, a previously healthy 32-year-old pregnant woman was hospitalized for pneumonia and died 8 days later. the only pathogen detected was an influenza virus antigenically related to the swine influenza virus (siv). four days before illness onset, the patient visited a county fair swine exhibition where there was widespread influenzalike illness among the swine. to detect other persons who were possibly infected by contact with the ill swine, we measured serum siv hemagglutination-i ...19911845913
hemagglutinin mutations related to antigenic variation in h1 swine influenza viruses.the hemagglutinin (ha) of a recent swine influenza virus, a/sw/in/1726/88 (h1n1), was shown previously to have four antigenic sites, as determined from analysis of monoclonal antibody (mab)-selected escape mutants. to define the ha mutations related to these antigenic sites, we cloned and sequenced the ha genes amplified by polymerase chain reaction of parent virus and mab-selected escape mutants. the genetic data indicated the presence of four amino acid changes. after alignment with the three- ...19921731091
prevalence of pseudorabies virus infection and associated infections in six large swine herds in illinois.sera were collected from 6 large farrow-to-finish swine herds infected with pseudorabies virus (prv) in illinois. all herds were participating in the large herd cleanup study, a usda-initiated project to evaluate the feasibility of eradicating pseudorabies from large farms (greater than 400 sows) by use of a combination of vaccination and management changes. herd size ranged between 425 and 1,500 breeding females. between april and july 1990, sera for measurement of prv antibodies were obtained ...19911651912
interspecies transmission and reassortment of influenza a viruses in pigs and turkeys in the united states.genetic reassortment between influenza a viruses in humans and in animals and birds has been implicated in the appearance of new pandemics of human influenza. to determine whether such reassortment has occurred in the united states, the authors compared the genetic origins of gene segments of 73 swine influenza virus isolates (1976-1990), representing 11 states, and 11 turkey virus isolates (1980-1989), representing eight states. the host origin of gene segments encoding the internal proteins of ...19921415168
pathogenicity of concurrent infection of pigs with porcine respiratory coronavirus and swine influenza virus.combinations of porcine respiratory coronavirus (prcv) and either of two swine influenza viruses (h1n1 or h3n2) were administered intranasally and by aerosol to six- to eight-week-old specific pathogen-free pigs. the clinical responses, gross respiratory lesions and growth performances of these pigs were studied and compared with those of single (prcv, h1n1 or h3n2) and mock-infected animals. prcv infection caused fever, growth retardation and lung lesions, but no respiratory symptoms. infection ...19921334565
antigenicity of inactivated swine influenza virus concentrated by centrifugation.swine influenza virus grown in fertile chicken eggs was inactivated with a 1:4000 dilution of formalin for three days. centrifugation at 47,000 g for 1-3 hours concentrated the viral particles. reconstitution to 1/10 the original volume for use as a vaccine resulted in a product having an ha titer of 1:64 to 1:512. two doses of 4 ml given three weeks apart resulted in a serologic response in three of six gilts of breeding age. experimental challenge of two vaccinated and two control gilts to swi ...19761257594
local immunity in the pig respiratory tract. i. -- cellular and humoral immune responses following swine influenza infection.by serial lung washings on living pigs, kinetics of humoral and cellular local immune responses have been studied following intranasal inoculation of swine influenza virus. local and serum antibodies appeared 8 days post-infection (p.i.) and reached a maximal titer 2 weeks p.i. antibody titer decreased faster in lung secretions than in serum. local and systemic cell-mediated immune responses were detected, by in vitro transformation tests, during the second week p.i.1977907269
sero-epizootiological study on swine influenza in a prefecture of japan.a total of 1799 swine sera collected in toyama prefecture in the central part of japan during the years 1978-82 were tested for antibody against swine influenza virus (siv), a/new jersey/8/76 (h1n1). a high prevalence of antibody was observed in the years after the severe epizootic of si, 34.5% in 1979 and 51.7% in 1982. in other years, the percentages of positive sera were low and ranged from 1.7 to 12.4%. regional variations were seen in relation to a small scale epizootic. no antibody to siv ...19836306099
local immunity in the pig respiratory tract. ii. -- relationship of serum and local antibodies.antibody passage from blood to respiratory secretions was studied on pigs. the animals were passively immunized and have a high anti-hog cholera serum antibody titer. with normal animals as with swine influenza animals, no serum antibody could be recovered neither in buccopharyngeal secretions nor in lung washings: it seems that in such conditions no detectable transudation occurs from blood to local secretions. following intranasal inoculation of swine influenza virus or intramuscular injection ...1977907266
lack of significant person-to-person spread of swine influenza-like virus following fatal infection in an immunocompromised child.in february 1982, a four-year-old nevada girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission was hospitalized with fulminant pneumonia and died eight days later at a hospital in california. an influenza virus was the only pathogen detected, and was present in both antemortem and postmortem specimens. the virus was closely related antigenically to a/new jersey/8/76 (h1n1) and had a genome very similar to a contemporary enzootic swine influenza virus. the patient had had no known contact with swin ...19846320637
antibody formation in laboratory animals after parenteral application of a/swine influenza virus.antigenicity of swine influenza viruses, ann arbor/31 and recombinant x-53, was compared on the different animal species. the serological investigations of animals infected with live or immunized with the inactivated virus, demonstrated a close antigenic relationship between the h and n antigens of both viruses. for inactivated vaccine preparation it was recommended, on the basis of our results, to use ann arbor virus instead of virus x-53.1977604122

responses of cattle, sheep and poultry to a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing a swine influenza haemagglutinin.groups of cattle, sheep and poultry were inoculated with a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the haemagglutinin of the swine influenza virus a/nj/11/76. no adverse clinical responses were recorded and none of the animals developed a viraemia when inoculated with the recombinant or wild-type vaccinia virus. recombinant virus reisolated from lesions in cattle was stable, maintaining its thymidine kinase negative phenotype and ability to express the swine influenza haemagglutinin. antibodies to ...19863764100
epidemiological study of swine influenza virus as a component of the respiratory disease complex of feeder calves.a survey of 177 paired calf sera collected during the years 1978-1981 showed that 3.4% of the calves had prior experience with swine influenza virus. six calves positive by the single radial hemolysis test (srh) were also positive by the virus neutralization test (vn) in chicken embryos, and one calf reacted with all three tests (hemagglutination-inhibition (hi), srh, and vn). the srh and hi tests available cannot adequately provide the information necessary in a survey of this sort. the hi test ...19863517990
origin of the hemagglutinin gene of h3n2 influenza viruses from pigs in china.influenza viruses of the h3n2 subtype similar to aichi/2/68 and victoria/3/75 persist in pigs many years after their antigenic counterparts have disappeared from humans (shortridge et al. (1977). science 19, 1454-1455). to provide information on the mechanism of conservation of these influenza viruses in pigs, the hemagglutinin (ha) of four isolates from swine derived from taiwan and southern china were analyzed antigenically and genetically. the reactivity pattern of these viruses with a panel ...19883336940
immunohistochemical detection of swine influenza virus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in porcine proliferative and necrotizing pneumonia cases from québec. 19947954227
a new concept of the epidemic process of influenza a virus.influenza a virus was discovered in 1933, and since then four major variants have caused all the epidemics of human influenza a. each had an era of solo world prevalence until 1977 as follows: h0n1 (old style) strains until 1946, h1n1 (old style) strains until 1957, h2n2 strains until 1968, then h3n2 strains, which were joined in 1977 by a renewed prevalence of h1n1 (old style) strains. serological studies show that h2n2 strains probably had had a previous era of world prevalence during the last ...19873301379
evolution to predominance of swine influenza virus hemagglutinin mutants of predictable phenotype during single infections of the natural host.l and h2 mutants of the a/nj/11/76 h1n1 strain of swine influenza virus differ by having either a lysine or a glutamic acid at position 153 of the hemagglutinin glycoprotein of the virus. in two separate experiments, experimental infection of swine with various doses of the h2 mutant resulted in the emergence in 11 of 20 animals of virus with the l phenotype. all evidence indicates that the h2----l mutation, selection, and evolution to predominance occurred within the 7-day span of individual in ...19883186713
genetic relatedness between influenza a (h1n1) viruses isolated from humans and pigs.complete nucleotide sequences were obtained from the nucleoprotein genes of three influenza a viruses and partial nucleotide sequences were obtained from the polymerase, neuraminidase, matrix, and non-structural protein genes of four influenza a viruses that had been isolated between 1931 and 1939 from clinically sick pigs in the united states or europe. a phylogenetic analysis of the open reading frames of nine nucleoprotein genes showed that the u.s. swine influenza virus isolates from 1931 an ...19948046416
an influenza a (h1n1) virus, closely related to swine influenza virus, responsible for a fatal case of human influenza.in july 1991, an influenza a virus, designated a/maryland/12/91 (a/md), was isolated from the bronchial secretions of a 27-year-old animal caretaker. he had been admitted to the hospital with bilateral pneumonia and died of acute respiratory distress syndrome 13 days later. antigenic analyses with postinfection ferret antisera and monoclonal antibodies to recent h1 swine hemagglutinins indicated that the hemagglutinin of this virus was antigenically related to, but distinguishable from, those of ...19948138990
hemagglutinin polymorphism as the basis for low- and high-yield phenotypes of swine influenza virus.single amino acid substitutions at the rim of the receptor binding site of the hemagglutinin molecule of swine influenza virus markedly influence the replicative capacity of the virus in chicken embryos, madin-darby canine kidney cells (mdck), and swine as well as its antigenic phenotype. mutants of low-yield (l) phenotype replicate poorly in chicken embryos and produce small plaques in mdck cells but are highly infective for swine. such mutants have lysine at position 153 and glycine at positio ...19883174662
a single radial hemolysis technique for the measurement of influenza virus antibody in cattle serum.a single radial hemolysis technique (srh) was used to measure swine influenza virus antibody in calf serum. heating at 56 c for 60 minutes was necessary to prevent non-specific hemolysis. a significant association was found between the mean diameter of the hemolysis zone obtained with the srh test and the geometric mean hemagglutination inhibition (hi) titer in sera of 5 calves inoculated with the virus after treatment with periodate (r = 0.92, p 0.01) and receptor destroying enzyme (r = 0.94, p ...19863008275
ultrastructural morphometric investigation of early lesions in the pulmonary alveolar region of pigs during experimental swine influenza infection.experimental infection of specific-pathogen-free pigs with swine influenza virus by the intratracheal route resulted in a severe respiratory disease that closely resembled natural swine influenza in clinical course and pathologic lesions. alveolar epithelial necrosis with sloughing of necrotic cells occurred from 24 to 96 hours after inoculation (p.i.) and was associated with alveolar edema and diffuse interstitial pneumonitis. the latter, initially of neutrophilic character, became histiocytic ...19863006499
swine interferon. i. induction in porcine cell cultures with viral and synthetic inducers.the production of interferon by porcine kidney (pk(15)) cell culture in response to viral and synthetic inducers was studied. the inducers used included a synthetic double-stranded polyribonucleotide, polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid (poly i:c), swine influenza virus and three strains of pseudorabies virus. following exposure to these inducers cell culture fluids were examined for interferon by the plaque-reduction method. the poly i:c and the swine influenza virus induced production of i ...19724340345
experimental infection of weanling pigs with a-swine influenza virus. i. epidemiology and serological response.naturally occurring swine influenza is caused by a strain of virus closely related to influenza strains isolated from man in 1918 and later. information is lacking on certain aspects of the epidemiology of swine influenza that, if obtained, might shed some light on the epidemiology of human influenza, particularly with respect to inter-epidemic reservoirs and shedders of the virus. in a first series of experiments undertaken by the authors pigs were experimentally infected intranasally with swin ...19705311061
swine influenza virus strains recognize sialylsugar chains containing the molecular species of sialic acid predominantly present in the swine tracheal epithelium.we determined the ratio of n-glycolylneuraminic acid (neu5gc) to n-acetylneuraminic acid (neu5ac) in swine respiratory epithelia by fluorometric high-performance liquid chromatography, and examined the binding specificity of swine influenza virus strains for gangliosides containing different molecular species of sialic acid (neu5ac and neu5gc), and for bovine erythrocyte sialoglycoprotein 2 (gp-2) containing neu5gc as its predominate sialic acid (96% of total sialic acids). the presence of neu5g ...19979119062

sporadic occurrence of zoonotic swine influenza virus infections.two infections by swine influenza virus, antigenically similar to a/new jersey/76 (h1n1) virus, were detected during community epidemics with other influenza viruses. the swinelike viruses were obtained during virological surveillance of acute respiratory illnesses, and the clinical symptoms of these two patients were similar to those caused by other respiratory viruses. both patients reported contact with swine a few days before onset of illness, but in one case it was brief. serological studie ...19846092435
the possible origin h1n1 (hsw1n1) virus in the swine population of japan and antigenic analysis of the isolates.virus isolation and serological studies on swine sera collected during 1973 to 1978 showed that h1n1 (hsw1n1) influenza viruses first appeared in the swine population of japan about may 1977. with the exception of one strain, both haemagglutinin and neuraminidase subunits of all the h1n1 viruses isolated from swine in japan and from pigs imported from north america were antigenically indistinguishable from those of a/nj/8/76 virus, suggesting the introduction of swine influenza virus into japan ...19826182266
monoclonal antibodies to the hemagglutinin sa antigenic site of a/pr/8/34 influenza virus distinguish biologic mutants of swine influenza virus.the dimorphic l and h hemagglutinin mutants of a/nj/11/76(h1n1) (swine) influenza virus differ pleiotropically in their replication and virulence characteristics and in their antigenicity. l mutants replicate less well in chicken embryos and madin-darby canine kidney cells and are more infective for swine than are h mutants. l and h mutants are not antigenically distinguishable in cross-neutralization tests with homotypic antisera, but they can be identified with certain heterotypic heterogeneou ...19836194531
isolation of a recombinant influenza virus (hsw 1 n2) from swine in japan.outbreaks of swine influenza were first observed in japan in 1978. a number of influenza viruses were isolated from diseased swine. almost all viruses isolated were swine influenza virus (hsw 1 n1) but two viruses isolated from the nasal swabs of swine showing clinical signs of influenza in the kanagawa prefecture were characterized antigenically as hsw 1 n2. analysis of swine sera showed that influenza virus hsw 1 n2 was epidemic in the farm from which the virus had been isolated. the new virus ...19806255900
serosurvey of selected viral and bacterial diseases in wild swine from oklahoma.blood samples collected from 120 wild swine (sus scrofa) in thirteen oklahoma (usa) counties during 1996 were tested for antibodies against six viral and two bacterial diseases. no antibodies to swine brucellosis, pseudorabies, transmissible gastroenteritis, and vesicular stomatitis were detected. antibody titers to one or more leptospiral serovars were found in 44% of the samples, the two most frequent serovars being leptospira interrogans serovars bratislava (29%) and pomona (27%). antibody ag ...19989813859
swine influenza virus in swine and man in illinois.serum samples from 2,091 persons from illinois populations of swine abattoir employees, 4-h club youths and their advisors, veterinary medical students, pork producers, and veterinarians were tested for hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) antibodies to a/swine/ill./63. a total of 231 positive reactions of 1:20 or above were found (11%). the highest prevalence of antibody was found in veterinarians, followed by pork producers and future swine abattoir employees. age-adjusted reactor rates were highe ...19816260919
an epidemic of swine influenza in japan.in a serological survey of pigs in japan haemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibody to swine influenza virus (hsw1n1) was first detected in 721 of 3313 (21.1 per cent) sera in 1977 and 1578 of 4946 (32.1 per cent) in 1978. the virus was prevalent in all districts of japan but to a different extent. in contrast to the high incidence of antibody, there were few cases of infection with clinical signs and only 13 outbreaks of swine influenza were recognised in japan from 1978 to 1979. thirty-seven i ...19816281867
