The sequence is closely related to the other 2012 case (A/Utah/10/2012) and the most recent human sequences from 2011 (A/West Virginia/06/2011 and A/West Virginia/07/2011) which have an N2 which is distinct from the first 10 human cases in 2011. The detection of this sub-clade once again raises concerns that this sub-clade is transmitting in humans. Public swine sequences collected since the West Virginia cluster are heavily weighted toward the earlier sequence (13/15 matches) although one of the two swine matches with recent human cases is from Indiana (A/swine/Indiana/A01203509/2012)collected on May 5, 2012). The CDC is commended for the rapid release of these important sequences. Media Link Recombinomics Presentations Recombinomics Publications Recombinomics Paper at Nature Precedings
