Data are from participants experiencing influenza-like illness events between March 2016 and February 2017 and their laboratory results during their acute illness. Participants (n = 400) from the Shandong and Jiangsu provinces of China were asked to report influenza-like illness events between annual follow-up visits at 12 and 24 months. Seroconversion against each virus was defined as a 4-fold rise in titer, relative to any previously gathered sample, and 1 titer value ≥40. A/swine/Guangdong/SS1/2012(H1N1) and A/swine/Guangdong/L22/2010(H3N2) were used for neutralizing antibody (Nab) assays.Abbreviations: +, presence of symptoms; -, absence of symptom or negative result for rRT-PCR; 12/A/C, 12-month/acute/convalescent; CAFO, confined animal feeding operation; Ct, cycle threshold; HH, house-holding swine farm; ILI, influenza-like illness; NA, sample was not collected; rRT-PCR, real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction; S, enrolled in Shandong; W, enrolled in Wuxi.

aSera groups had a 4-fold rise in titer.
