Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Objective: Increasing diversity of influenza A virus (IAV) circulating in swine can indicate a need for animal and public health intervention efforts. In 2015, two human variant cases were detected in the United States and identified as 1A.3.3.3 (gamma) clade H1N1 swine-origin viruses. These transmission episodes underscored the genetic diversity of this H1 clade previously observed to be expanding. We hypothesized that evolutionary selection on the HA gene resulted in antigenic drift in swine and potentially increased the risk for interspecies transmission.
