AI Article Synopsis
- An H10N5 avian influenza virus, specifically A/swine/Hubei/10/2008/H10N5, was found in pigs in Hubei Province, China.
- Analyses showed the virus is completely of avian origin and closely related to the Eurasian lineage of avian influenza.
- This is the first recorded instance of an avian H10N5 virus transmitting to domestic pigs naturally.
Article Abstract
An avian H10N5 influenza virus, A/swine/Hubei/10/2008/H10N5, was isolated from pigs in the Hubei Province of central China. Homology and phylogenetic analyses of all eight gene segments demonstrated that the strain was wholly of avian origin and closely homologous to the Eurasian lineage avian influenza virus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of interspecies transmission of an avian H10N5 influenza virus to domestic pigs under natural conditions.
