Abstract
To the Editor: Triple-reassortant swine influenza viruses (SIVs), which contain genes from human, swine, and avian influenza A viruses, have been enzootic among swine herds in the United States since the late 1990s (1). Although uncommon, occasional transmission of triple-reassortant SIVs from swine to humans has occurred (2-4). Before April 2009, only limited, nonsustained human-to-human transmission of SIVs had been reported (5-7). Although an animal source for pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus has yet to be identified, the pandemic strain resulted from the reassortment of 2 different lineages of SIV (8).
