Influenza virus transmission from horses to dogs, Australia

Peter D Kirkland et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

During the 2007 equine influenza outbreak in Australia, respiratory disease in dogs in close contact with infected horses was noted; influenza (H3N8) virus infection was confirmed. Nucleotide sequence of the virus from dogs was identical to that from horses. No evidence of dog-to-dog transmission or virus persistence in dogs was found.

Phylogenetic trees of influenza subtype H3N8 viruses showing analyses conducted on A) hemagglutinin genes, B) neuraminidase genes, and C) matrix genes. Sequences from dogs are from the same animal on successive days. Boldface indicates viruses identified in dogs and horses in Australia, 2007, asterisks (*) indicate viruses from horses in Japan, and daggers (†) indicate viruses from dogs in the United States. Bootstrap values >50 are indicated at branch nodes. Bootstrap trials = 1,000; seed = 111.
