Rapid genotyping of swine influenza viruses

Emerg Infect Dis. 2011 Apr;17(4):691-4. doi: 10.3201/eid1704.101726.

Abstract

The emergence of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus highlighted the need for enhanced surveillance of swine influenza viruses. We used real-time reverse-transcription PCR-based genotyping and found that this rapid and simple genotyping method may identify reassortants derived from viruses of Eurasian avian-like, triple reassortant-like, and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus lineages.
