Research Project: Influenza A Virus Serosurveillance in Feral Swine

Location: Virus and Prion Research

Project Number: 5030-32000-231-120-I
Project Type: Interagency Reimbursable Agreement

Start Date: Apr 1, 2025
End Date: Mar 31, 2026

Determine the apparent seroprevalence of H5 avian influenza and endemic swine influenza A virus in feral swine in the United States and associated territories to assess feral swine as a reservoir risk for influenza A virus and identify interfaces between feral and commercial swine.

Approach:
Acquire serum samples from the National Feral Swine Damage Management Program and assay them using different serologic tests.
