[h=1]Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in pigs, Togo, 2013.[/h] Ducatez MF[SUP]1[/SUP], Awoume F[SUP]2[/SUP], Webby RJ[SUP]3[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] We collected 325 nasal swabs from freshly slaughtered previously healthy pigs from October 2012 through January 2014 in a slaughterhouse near Lom? in Togo. Influenza A virus genome was detected by RT-PCR in 2.5-12.3% of the pooled samples, and results of hemagglutinin subtyping RT-PCR assays showed the virus in all the positive pools to be A(H1N1)pdm09. Virus was isolated on MDCK cells from a representative specimen, A/swine/Togo/ONA32/2013(H1N1). The isolate was fully sequenced and harbored eight genes similar to A(H1N1)pdm09 virus genes circulating in humans in 2012-2013, suggesting human-to-swine transmission of the pathogen.
