摘要：

Influenza A viruses continue to emerge from the aquatic avian reservoir and cause pandemics. There are periodic exchanges of influenza virus genes or whole viruses between avians and other species giving rise to pandemics of diseases in humans, lower animals and birds. It is hypothesized that pigs are an intermediate host and that China is an epicenter for the evolution of human pandemic strains. However, the transmission of avian influenza viruses to pigs in Europe in 1979 and detection of reassortants with human influenza genes in pigs raises the question of whether the next pandemic of influenza will emerge in Europe!. © 1994 Academic Press.
