Abstract

The evolutionary origins of the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus that caused the first outbreak of the 2009 pandemic in Mexico remain unclear, highlighting the lack of swine surveillance in Latin American countries. Although Brazil has one of the largest swine populations in the world, influenza was not thought to be endemic in Brazil’s swine until the major outbreaks of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in 2009. Through phylogenetic analysis of whole-genome sequences of influenza viruses of the H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 subtypes collected in swine in Brazil during 2009–2012, we identified multiple previously uncharacterized influenza viruses of human seasonal H1N2 and H3N2 virus origin that have circulated undetected in swine for more than a decade. Viral diversity has further increased in Brazil through reassortment between co-circulating viruses, including A(H1N1)pdm09. The circulation of multiple divergent hemagglutinin lineages challenges the design of effective cross-protective vaccines and highlights the need for additional surveillance.
Influenza A viruses circulating in swine (swIAVs) are of major economic concern for the swine industry and a pandemic threat for humans. The H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009 was associated with a virus of swine origins (1) that caused its first outbreak in humans in Mexico in early 2009 (2). However, the evolutionary origins of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (pH1N1) virus in swine are poorly understood, and no potential progenitor viruses have been detected in swine in any part of the world. The relatively small number of swIAVs that have been characterized in Latin America make it particularly difficult to confirm or negate the possibility of pH1N1 evolving in swine in Mexico or another Latin American country before emergence in humans.

Since 2009, transmission of pH1N1 virus from humans to pigs has been documented in numerous countries spanning 6 continents (313), including many countries where influenza viruses previously had not been detected in swine, such as Australia (14), Finland (15), and Cameroon (16). pH1N1 virus has been identified in swine in several Latin American countries, including Argentina (17), Brazil (18,19), Colombia (20), and Mexico (21), because of human-to-swine transmission events that have occurred since 2009. In Argentina, multiple subtypes of viruses of human seasonal virus origin also have been identified in swine (22). Although Brazil hosts one of the largest swine populations in the world (≈41 million hogs), little evidence existed of swIAV circulation in swine herds in Brazil before 2009 (2325). Influenza virus in pigs was first detected in Brazil in 1974, and the isolated virus was closely related to the classical North American swine virus A/swine/Illinois/1/63/H1N1 (24). However, relatively little clinical illness was observed in pigs in Brazil until 2009. Since 2009, Brazil’s swine population has experienced outbreaks of pH1N1 that are associated with respiratory illness. These outbreaks have been located primarily in the country’s major swine production regions in southern, midwestern, and southeastern Brazil (Figure 1). As a result, surveillance efforts for IAVs in swine populations in Brazil have increased, revealing additional influenza virus diversity. Serum collected from swine in southeastern Brazil during January–March 2009 indicated the widespread presence of antibodies cross-reactive to multiple antigenically distinct subtypes in swine: North American classical swine H1N1 (44.4%), North American triple-reassortant swine H3N2 (23.5%), and human-like H1N1 (38.3%) (25). In southern Brazil, the seroprevalence of the H3N2 subtype was recently found to be ≈20% (23). A human-like H1N2 virus was isolated from captive wild boars (26) and from swine (27) in Brazil.


Here, a phylogenetic analysis of newly sequenced influenza viruses from Brazil’s swine herds provides evidence that multiple IAVs of human seasonal virus origin have been circulating in swine for more than a decade. These particular H3N2 and H1N2 swIAV clades appear to be specific to Brazil. The co-circulation of multiple genetically diverse swIAV lineages of the H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 subtypes introduces new challenges for the control of influenza in Brazil’s swine herds, including development of cross-protective vaccines.
