submitted by kickingbird at Sep, 9, 2012 from US CDC (via http://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/h1n2v-cases-mn.htm)
The Minnesota Department of Health has reported detection of 3 infections with an influenza A H1N2 variant (“H1N2v”) virus
with the pandemic M gene from the 2009 H1N1 virus. These cases were reportedly associated with prolonged contact with pigs
at a fair. H1N2 viruses normally circulate in pigs, not people, but rare human infections with this virus have been
detected in the past. This virus is different from the H3N2v virus that, as of today, is reported to have caused 296 human
infections across 10 U.S. states since July 2012. These additional human infections underscore the fact that swine influenza
viruses can spread to people after close contact with infected pigs, and support the importance of ongoing surveillance for
both human and swine influenza viruses. ... OIE: Low pathogenic avian influenza (poultry), Netherlands
