Moreover, a novel H3N2 influenza virus containing the matrix (34) gene from a 2009 pandemic influenza virus was detected in Korean pigs in 2013 (Pascua et al., 2013), an H1N2 influenza virus con- taining the internal genes from a 2009 pandemic influ- enza virus was found in Korean pigs in 2014 (Kim et al., 2014), and an H1N1 influenza virus containing all genes from the classical swine influenza viruses was isolated from Korean pigs in 2007 (Song et al., 2007).展开更多
