Swine influenza surveillance in Italy uncovers regional and farm-based genetic clustering
The study reveals a high genetic diversity in swIAV circulating in Northern Italy as a consequence of multiple virus introductions as well as new reassortment events with the identification of two new genotypes. The findings highlight the importance of sustained surveillance and genetic monitoring to track viral evolution and reassortment, which are pivotal for early detection of strains with pandemic potential.
