This is the first report of avian-like H6N6 swine influenza virus from swine in southern China. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this virus might originate from domestic ducks. Serological surveillance suggested there had been sporadic H6 swine influenza infections in this area. Continuing study is required to determine if this virus could be established in the swine population and pose potential threats to public health. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
