A study of 8,239 feral swine samples collected from 2010 to 2013 across 35 US states found 4.9% carried influenza A antibodies. Most cross-reacted with swine viruses, while 16 samples reacted to both avian and swine strains.
The research flags a possible route for novel influenza strains to reach domestic pigs, but it reports no change in herd numbers or supply and does not move prices.
