H3N2 genotypes identified in influenza A viruses detected in exhibition swine at agricultural fairs associated with 16 human variant H3N2 cases, Michigan and Ohio, USA, 2016*

Genotype PB2 PB1 PA HA NP NA M NS
H3 genotype 1, n = 2 trig trig trig Swine cluster IV-A trig 2002 pdm trig
Human-like H3, n = 11 trig trig trig Human-like H3 trig 2002 pdm Trig

*Genomic constellations of 13 influenza A virus isolates from swine are organized by the 8 gene segments of the influenza A virus genome with HA categorized as derived from the 2010–11 human seasonal H3N2 virus (human-like H3) or the established swine lineage H3N2 (cluster IV-A). The 6 internal gene segments (PB2, PB1, PA, NP, M, NS) are classified as originating from either the 1998 triple-reassortant internal gene (trig) or influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (pdm). All NA genes were descendants of the 2002 N2 lineage common among North American swine (12). HA, hemagglutinin; M, matrix; NA, neuraminidase; NP, nucleoprotein; NS, nonstructural protein; PA, polymerase acidic; PB, polymerase basic.
