Neutralizing antibodies against pandemic, seasonal and avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus in swine contacts and swine, Western-Europe

摘要

Background: Serological studies for swine influenza viruses (SIVs) in humans with occupational exposure to pigs have only been reported from the Americas, but not from Europe. Human infections with SIV have been rare and mostly reported in contacts with swine, as serological studies suggest that swine workers are at increased risk of zoonotic infection with SIV.
