Summary

Porcine influenza is a viral disease. Along with other viral diseases such as avian influenza or SARS it may lead to serious consequences for the population. The disease occurs after infection with the influenza virus A/H1N1. Reassortment of RNA genome sequences of porcine and human influenza viruses can lead to new antigenic variants (antigen shift) with human pathogenic features. The present articles supplies recent information with relevance for occupational health.

Key words: porcine influenza, H1N1
