Abstract

We detected antibodies against influenza D in 80.2% of the cattle sampled in Luxembourg in 2016, suggesting widespread virus circulation throughout the country. In swine, seroprevalence of influenza D was low but increased from 0% to 5.9% from 2012 to 2014-2015.

Keywords: Luxembourg; cattle; influenza; influenza D virus; pig; serology; seroprevalence; swine; viruses.
