This document summarizes research on the growing diversity of H3N2 influenza A virus in US swine and its impact. It finds that the H3 subtype is evolving into multiple genetic clusters with evidence of reassortment. Antibody studies show inconsistent cross-reactivity between clusters, which may impact vaccine effectiveness. Nearly 350 human cases of influenza from exposure to infected fair pigs have been reported since 2005, primarily in children. Continued genetic monitoring, timely vaccine updates, and partnerships across animal and human health are needed to minimize the impact.

2. USDA IAV Surveillance in Swine
• Implemented in 2009
– Samples began being submitted in November
• 39 participating NAHLN labs
– Approved diagnostic assays
•
•
•
•
Matrix FluA screening PCR
HA and NA subtyping PCR
Virus Isolation – Isolates sent to NVSL repository
Sequencing – priority on HA, NA and M genes
– Sequences deposited to GenBank public database
• Passive Surveillance
– Primary source of samples are from diagnostic samples
from clinically affected pigs, voluntary and anonymous
– Small number of samples sent directly to NVSL associated
with zoonotic events as identified by Public Health: H3N2v

Studies
• Regional/national efforts – USDA, CEIRS, ESNIP, etc.
• International networks – CEIRS, ESNIP, OFFLU
4. U.S. swine IAV surveillance results
• What does the USDA data tell us ?
– Trends in HA and NA dynamics
• Subtypes: H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2
• Phyloclusters: defined using genetic distance of the HA
– H1s with alpha, beta, gamma, pdm09, and delta (human
seasonal origin)
– H3s with historical Clusters I, II and III, along with a rapidly
expanding contemporary Cluster IV
– Evidence of reassortment
• Matrix Lineage: Classical swine origin or pandemic matrix gene
as an indicator of reassortment and virus evolution.
• Viruses for further research (NADC and others)
• Viruses for vaccine development

11. Cause or Consequence?
• What is driving the observed increase in diversity?
– Reassortment?
– Pig movement?
– Ineffective vaccines?
– Unknown factors?
• With all this antigenic diversity, how well are control
measures working on a national level?
• Can we develop a system for more efficient updates of
commercial vaccines?
• What are the implications for human health?

16. Future Challenges and Gaps for Swine Exhibits
• Swine IAVs in a period of frequent reassortment and HA evolution.
– Continued monitoring and timely dissemination of information required.
• Currently available vaccines for swine do not prevent nasal shedding, some
performed better than others.
• There is no uniform system to select swine IAV for vaccine updates.
– Mass vaccinating has been shown to dramatically decrease viral shedding.
– Mixed immune populations comingled together will continue to be
difficult to manage.
• A sensitive and specific pen-side test is not available and clinical signs are not
sufficient for identifying shedding pigs at points of concentration.
• Pig movement and mixing is difficult to track with fair and show pigs.
• There is variability among exhibition venues and markets for animal
movement and show requirements.
• Guidelines & recommendations for swine IAV implemented in a number of
states for the 2013 Fair season.
Partnerships between animal health, human health, and the swine industry
are critical to minimize the impact of these events.

1. Similarly, this is a phylogeny of north american HA genes of the H3N2 (560 sequences)It has 4 characteristic cluster types, with Cluster IV representing much of the onward transmission, and I’ve highlighted in red those viral isolates detected in 2012.Now, though it’s not as well structured as the H1s, there appears to be an increase in the diversity we’re getting in North America.There are at least 6 strongly supported (bootstrap support greater than 60%) monophyletic clusters that have emerged in 2012. (the very bottom cluster is the H3N2v cluster IV, Clade A)
Matrix lineage. NAm is being slowly but surely wiped out by the pandemic matrix.
This figure depicts the proportion of persons with hemagglutination inhibition antibody titer > 40 to H3N2v by age cohort on the x axis from the 3 countries with the youngest children at the left x axis and the oldest cohort at the right x axis. The age cohorts have been smoothed a bit to make them line up with one another for comparison purposes. The overall trends are similar in the 3 countries within age groups.
