Origin, distribution and potential risk factors associated with influenza A virus in swine in two production systems in Guatemala

ConclusionsOur results demonstrate circulation of IAV throughout Guatemala, and identify commercial farms, animal health status and age as potential risk factors associated to IAV infection and exposure. Detection of human‐origin viruses in pigs suggests a role for humans in the molecular epidemiology of IAV in swine in Guatemala and evidences gaps in local animal and human surveillance.This article is protected by copyright.
