[Influenza epizootic in swine due to strain A (Victoria/3/75 H3N2)]. 1981

N Milev, and N Pavlov, and P Panaiotov, and Z Nikolova

Studies were carried out on the first grippe epizootic in pigs in Bulgaria. The affected animals showed a rise in temperature (40.5 to 41.8 degrees C), loss of appetite, abdominal type of respiration, and noisy and painful cough. The infection ran its course with a picture typical of a virus disease which did not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. On an average the duration of the clinical course lasted 4 to 5 days, affecting almost all swine on a pig breeding farm, with single death cases. The morphologic changes observed in animals killed for diagnostic purposes were typical of a grippe infection. Isolated was a grippe virus A (Antimovo) 1/80/H3N2) the preliminary typisation of which showed close relation to strain A (victoria) 3/75/H3N2/. Serologic investigations using double blood samples from the affected pigs in double immunodiffusion test and hemagglutination-inhibition test demonstrated the etiologic role played by the isolated grippe virus.

D009980	Influenza A virus	The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
