[h=1]Proposed Surveillance for Influenza A in Feral Pigs.[/h] Dalziel AE[SUP]1[/SUP], Peck HA[SUP]2[/SUP], Hurt AC[SUP]2[/SUP], Cooke J[SUP]3[/SUP], Cassey P[SUP]4[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] Pigs carry receptors for both avian- and human-adapted influenza viruses and have previously been proposed as a mixing and amplification vessel for influenza. Until now, there has been no investigation of influenza A viruses within feral pigs in Australia. We collected samples from feral pigs in Ramsar listed wetlands of South Australia and demonstrated positive antibodies to influenza A viruses. We propose feral pigs, and their control programs, as an available resource for future surveillance for influenza A viruses.
