Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in captive cheetah

Emerg Infect Dis. 2012 Feb;18(2):315-7. doi: 10.3201/eid1802.111245.

Abstract

We describe virus isolation, full genome sequence analysis, and clinical pathology in ferrets experimentally inoculated with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus recovered from a clinically ill captive cheetah that had minimal human contact. Evidence of reverse zoonotic transmission by fomites underscores the substantial animal and human health implications of this virus.
