Transmission of Swine Influenza A Viruses along Pig Value Chains, Cambodia, 2020-2022

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Dec;30(12):2669-2673. doi: 10.3201/eid3012.240695.

Abstract

We analyzed >4,000 pig samples from slaughterhouses in Cambodia and found higher influenza A seroprevalence (40.0%) and prevalence (1.5%) among pigs from commercial farms than smallholder farms (seroprevalence 8.9%; prevalence 0.6%). Multivariable analyses revealed evidence of transmission after leaving farms. Findings have implications for influenza risk and surveillance in emerging livestock systems.
