Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 Mar;27(3):939-943. doi: 10.3201/eid2703.201863.

Abstract

We report a zoonotic infection of a pig farmer in the Netherlands with a Eurasian avian-like swine influenza A(H1N1) virus that was also detected in the farmed pigs. Both viruses were antigenically and genetically characterized. Continued surveillance of swine influenza A viruses is needed for risk assessment in humans and swine.
