Abstract EN
Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza A virus was detected in Norwegian pigs in October 2009.
Until then, Norway was regarded free of swine influenza.
Intensified screening revealed 91 positive herds within three months.
The virus was rapidly transmitted to the susceptible population, including closed breeding herds with high biosecurity.
Humans were important for the introduction as well as spread of the virus to pigs.
Mild or no clinical signs were observed in infected pigs.
Surveillance of SIV in 2010 revealed that 41% of all the Norwegian pig herds had antibodies to pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus.
Furthermore, this surveillance indicated that pigs born in positive herds after the active phase did not seroconvert, suggesting no ongoing infection in the herds.
However, results from surveillance in 2011 show a continuing spread of the infection in many herds, either caused by new introduction or by virus circulation since 2009.
