Serologic Evidence of Human and Swine Influenza in Mayan Persons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibodies against influenza viruses were detected in 115 serum samples from indigenous Mayan persons from Kochol, Yucatan. Seropositivity rates were 26.9% to A/Bayern/7/95, 40.8% to A/Sydney/5/97, 1.7% to A/Swine/Wisconsin/238/97, and 79.1% to A/Swine/Minnesota/593/99. This report is the first in Mexico of the prevalence of antibodies to swine influenza virus in humans.

Swine Influenza Virus Antibodies in Humans, Western Europe, 2009
Serologic studies for swine influenza viruses (SIVs) in humans with occupational exposure to swine have been reported from the Americas but not from Europe. We compared levels of neutralizing antibodies against 3 influenza viruses--pandemic (H1N1) 2009, an avian-like enzootic subtype H1N1 SIV, and a 2007-08 seasonal subtype H1N1--in 211 persons with swine contact and 224 matched controls in Lux...
متن کاملHuman Infection from Avian-like Influenza A (H1N1) Viruses in Pigs, China
In investigating influenza in an immunodeficient child in China, in December 2010, we found that the influenza virus showed high sequence identity to that of swine. Serologic evidence indicated that viral persistence in pigs was the source of infection. Continued surveillance of pigs and systemic analysis of swine influenza isolates are needed.
متن کاملSerologic survey of swine workers for exposure to H2N3 swine influenza A
BACKGROUND Of the 16 influenza A hemagglutinin (H) subtypes, only H1, H2 and H3 viruses have been shown to cause sustained human infection. Whereas H1 and H3 viruses currently circulate seasonally in humans, H2 viruses have not been identified in humans since 1968. In 2006, an H2N3 influenza virus was isolated from ill swine in the United States. OBJECTIVE To assess the potential for zoonotic...
متن کاملFurther Observations on the Relevance of Serologic Recapitulations of Human Infection with Influenza Viruses
By use of a photometric method which objectively distinguishes between homologous and heterologous antibody reactions, the age distribution of specifically reacting swine and Asian antibodies present in sera of persons not recently exposed to either virus was established. The findings support the thesis that the unique distribution by age of swine and Asian antibodies recognizes two past period...
متن کاملInfluenza exposure in United States feral swine populations.
Swine play an important role in the disease ecology of influenza. Having cellular receptors in common with birds and humans, swine provide opportunities for mixed infections and potential for genetic reassortment between avian, human, and porcine influenza. Feral swine populations are rapidly expanding in both numbers and range and are increasingly coming into contact with waterfowl, humans, an...
