^a Authors suggested origin of viral RNA could be human or avian based upon capture locations of sampled animals. ^b ND = not determined or not reported. ^c Presumably an American mink (Neovison vison; reported in reference [58] as Mustela vison); the American mink was introduced to Sweden during the early 1900s. Reference [59] did not report a scientific name. ^d Mink species not listed. Virus was isolated from a farmed mink fed uncooked poultry products. ^e A(H1N1) pdm09. Virus is not avian-origin but is included for evidence of natural IAV infections in striped skunks. Virus was isolated in second study referenced.
