          that conclusion may be right, but "Now that the mixed genes have been found in Asia, "
          does not support it.

          Genetic analysis of two influenza A (H1) swine viruses isolated from humans in Thailand and the Philippines.
          Virus genes 2007;35(2):161-5.

          Influenza viruses A/Philippines/341/2004 (H1N2) and A/Thailand/271/2005 (H1N1) were isolated from two males, with mild influenza providing evidence of sporadic human infection by contemporary swine influenza. Both viruses were antigenically and genetically distinct from influenza A (H1N1 and H1N2) viruses that have circulated in the human population. Genetic analysis of the haemagglutinin genes found these viruses to have the highest degree of similarity to the classical swine H1 viruses circulating in Asia and North America. The neuraminidase gene and the internal genes were found to be more closely related to viruses circulating in European swine, which appear to have undergone multiple reassorting events. Although transmission of swine influenza to humans appears to be a relatively rare event, swine have been proposed as the intermediate host in the generation of potential pandemic influenza virus that may have the capacity to cause human epidemics resulting in high morbidity and mortality.

          -----------------------------------------------

          closest match in HA is A/swine/Tennessee/2/1977(H1N1)

          27 years ! The 11 years gap of ******-anchestry surveillance looks small
          compared to this. Swine viruses evolve and replicate on some farms
          for decades unsurveilled and almost isolated from the rest
          of swinefluhood. Thus avoiding these bottlenecks which we see
          in human influenza evolution and which limit the diversity in circulating
          human strains.
          Swine serve as a big genetic reservoir for influenza, from which occasionally
          new viruses can emerge and jump to humans.

            does not support it.
            I just saw a show on Discovery Channel called "Pig Bomb" that was about the explosion of wild pigs in the U.S. It turns out that someone brought Eurasian wild boars over and released them into the wild in the 1980's or 1990's. The infusion of Eurasian wild boars has made the U.S. wild pigs tougher and they're spreading very quickly.

            Could it be that swine flu is not from domestic pigs but from wild pigs in the U.S./Mexico?

              Wild boars have been in the US prior to the 80s. I remember them along the California coast in the mid 60s - in the Big Sur area. They might have caught human influenza from contents of the garbage cans they overturned. Nasty large animals.

                Yes, they have been in the U.S. for hundreds of years but only recently has the Eurasian wild boar been introduced, (possibly re-introduced).

                From the previous posts...

                "Since the outbreak began, virologists have wondered how Eurasian genes got into a North American pig."


                ...it seemed that there is some mystery as to how the Eurasian genes appeared in North American pigs. I was just suggesting a method of transport.
