Yet, this information is essential for surveillance of animal and public health, vaccine updates, and for understanding virus evolution and its large-scale spread.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>The study population consisted of 21 swine herds with clinical problems due to respiratory disease. Nasal swabs from individual pigs were collected and tested by virus isolation in MDCK cells and by rtRT-PCR. All eight segments of 10 H3N2 viruses were sequenced using high-throughput sequencing and molecularly characterized.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Within-herd prevalence ranged between 2 and 100%. Structurally, Ontario H3N2 viruses could be classified into three different groups. Group 1 was the most similar to the original trH3N2 virus from 2005. Group 2 was the most similar to the Ontario turkey H3N2 isolates with PB1 and NS genes originating from trH3N2 virus and M, PB2, PA and NP genes originating from the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. All Group 3 internal genes were genetically related to A(H1N1)pdm09. Analysis of antigenic sites of HA1 showed that Group 1 had 8 aa changes within 4 antigenic sites, A(1), B(3), C(2) and E(2). The Group 2 viruses had 8 aa changes within 3 antigenic sites A(3), B(3) and C(2), while Group 3 viruses had 4 aa changes within 3 antigenic sites, B(1), D(1) and E(2), when compared to the cluster IV H3N2 virus [A/swine/Ontario/33853/2005/(H3N2)].</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>The characterization of the Ontario H3N2 viruses clearly indicates reassortment of gene segments between the North American swine trH3N2 from cluster IV and the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article

Influenza A viruses evolve rapidly, creating new variants which could be the result of either point mutations or reassortment. Eighteen hemagglutinin (HA) and 11 neuraminidase (NA) types have been reported to date, classifying viruses into subtypes H1 to H18 and N1 to N11 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>].</p><p>In 2005, the triple-reassortant H3N2 (trH3N2) virus was reported in Canada and spread widely, affecting swine industries in all provinces [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. After initial detection of the trH3N2 virus in 2005, there were no further scientific publications about molecular diversity of influenza viruses circulating in Canadian swine until 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. This information has been particularly limited in Ontario. According to a recent statistic from 2012 and 2013, Ontario is the province with the second largest number of pigs on farms in Canada, and with the largest number of farms with pigs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]. This information is important for surveillance of influenza viruses and informing animal and public health decisions, vaccine updates, and for understanding virus evolution and its large-scale spread. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine which H3N2 influenza A viruses circulated in Ontario swine in 2011 and 2012.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="results"><title>Results</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Descriptive analysis</title><p>Most of the 21 herds included in this study were finisher sites only (n = 9), followed by nursery (n = 6), wean-to-finish (n = 3), farrow-to-finish (n = 1), farrow-to-grow (n = 1), and farrow-to-wean (n = 1) sites. Sow capacity ranged between 600 and 650 sows. Nursery inventory at the date of sampling ranged between 2000 and 2500 animals, and finisher pig inventory ranged between 950 and 5000 animals. The average number of samples tested per herd was 56 (7–100), and the average number of pooled real-time reverse transcription PCR (rtRT-PCR) tests was 10 (5–20) per herd. The mean number of sampled animals was 53 and 57.3 animals in influenza-virus-negative and influenza-virus-positive herds, respectively (p = 0.7).</p><p>In this study, 13 of 21 herds (61.9%) tested positive for influenza virus using virus isolation in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, while 8 of 12 herds (66.7%) tested rtRT-PCR-positive on pooled samples. In total, 16 herds (76.2%) tested positive by either virus isolation or rtRT-PCR. Viruses from eleven out of 16 positive herds were typed as H3N2, from 3 herds were typed as H1N1, and in 2 herds, subtyping was not successful. In total 11 H3N2 isolates from 10 different herds were included for full genome sequencing in 2 separate runs. However, sequencing results for 10 isolates from 9 herds were obtained. Full genome sequencing results for one virus could not be obtained despite repeated inclusion of this virus in two separate runs.</p><p>Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref> depicts the within-herd prevalence of influenza virus shedding in 21 Ontario swine herds tested by MDCK and rtRT-PCR. The within-herd prevalence ranged between 2% and 100%. In herds that had at least one virus positive isolation, the mean within-herd prevalence was 84% in sow herds (n = 2), 46% in nursery herds (n = 6), 30% in finisher herds (n = 4), and 57% in wean-to-finish herds (n = 1).<fig id="Fig1"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p><bold>Within-herd prevalence of positive samples for influenza virus during testing of individual samples by virus isolation in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, and during testing of 3:1 pools of nasal swabs on real-time reverse transcription (rtRT)-PCR in Ontario swine herds during 2011–2012.</bold></p></caption><graphic xlink:href="12985_2014_194_Fig1_HTML" id="MO1"></graphic></fig></p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Genetic characterization of 10 Ontario H3N2 influenza viruses</title><p>Structurally, Ontario H3N2 viruses detected in this study could be classified into three groups.

More detailed analysis of internal genes showed that the 4 Group 1 viruses indeed were the most similar to the original trH3N2 virus from 2005. The 4 Group 2 viruses were most similar to the Ontario turkey H3N2 variants with PB1 and NS genes originating from trH3N2 virus and M, PB2, PA, and NP genes originating from A(H1N1)pdm09 virus.

Amino acids at position 155–160 (HNLDYK) related to prototype cluster IV virus were changed to YNLNYK (Group 1), YHLGHK (Group 2) and YHLNHK (Group 3). The receptor binding site (RBS) of the Ontario isolates examined in this study was conserved. The amino acids Y98, G134, S136, W153, H183, Y195, G225, and S227 were the same for the Ontario isolates and the prototype IV H3N2 virus (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>).

To determine resistance-associated mutations to these two classes of drugs, we aligned and analyzed the aa sequences of the M and NA proteins of all 10 Ontario swH3N2 isolates (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). The most common mutation conferring resistance to adamantanes is an aa change from Ser to Asn at residue 31 (S31N) located in the transmembrane domain of the M2 protein. Sequence alignment analysis has shown that 6 of 10 Ontario swH3N2 isolates (Group 2, 3) do have the S31N mutation in the M2 protein, suggesting that Ontario swH3N2 isolates can be expected to offer resistance to amantadine and rimantadine (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). Besides the S31N mutation, additional substitutions have been traced. The R77Q substitution was observed only among 6 Ontario swH3N2 isolates with the S31N mutation. The remaining 4 isolates without S31N mutation exhibited a V27I substitution (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>).<fig id="Fig4"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p><bold>Alignment analysis of M2 sequences of 10 Ontario swH3N2 isolates showing amino acid substitution S31N and V27I within the transmembrane domain of M2 protein, and R77Q substitution.</bold></p></caption><graphic xlink:href="12985_2014_194_Fig4_HTML" id="MO4"></graphic></fig></p><p>Resistance-associated mutations within the neuraminidase E119V, R292K and N294S, responsible for reduced susceptibility to oseltamivir, were not detected in any of the Ontario swH3N2 sequences (data not shown).</p></sec><sec id="Sec7"><title>Signature residues</title><p>Influenza virus segment 2 encodes 3 proteins, PB1, PB1-F2 encoded by an alternative open reading frame (ORF) of segment 2, and PB1 N40 N-terminally truncated version of the PB1 protein.

Further sequence analysis of Ontario H3N2 PB1-F2 proteins revealed the absence of the N66S mutation which was previously reported in the H1N1, 1918 PB1-F2 and pathogenic avian H5N1 viruses and found to be associated with a gain in virulence. In addition to N66S, further amino acids T51, V56 and E87 might also enhance pathogenicity. As can be seen from Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref> the aa sequences of Ontario H3N2 PB1-F2 all contain V56, but substitutions T51M and E87G, previously associated with lower pathogenicity, have also been determined [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>].<fig id="Fig5"><label>Figure 5</label><caption><p><bold>Presentation of PB1-F2 variants of mammalian and avian influenza A viruses.</bold> Nine PB1 lineages from A to I have been described and some selected sequences within these lineages are presented.

This analysis demonstrated the absence of a PB2 E627K mutation, but revealed 590-91SR and 271A mutations in all Ontario H3N2 viruses (data not shown). The H1N1 2009 pandemic viruses also had PB2 627E and carried PB2 590-91SR and 271A mutations.

Instead of 100A, Ontario swH3N2 isolates had PA 100 V. Additional mutations, PA 356R and 409 N associated with past influenza pandemics, including 2009 (H1N1), 1977 (H1N1), 1968 (H3N2) and 1997 (H5N1), respectively, have also been detected in Ontario swH3N2 isolates (data not shown).</p><p>Close attention has been paid to the NP protein as a part of the helical genomic ribonucleoprotein complex with an important role in viral RNA replication and cross-species transmission.

On the basis of these results it can be concluded that at least three different groups of H3N2 viruses were circulating in Ontario swine during that time.</p><p>Group 1 represents viruses similar to the original trH3N2 viruses with gene segments of avian (PB2, PA), human (PB1, HA, NA) and classical swine (NP, M, NS) influenza virus origin. These 4 trH3N2 genotype viruses, with a mix of classical avian, human and swine virus lineages, emerged in 1998 and rapidly spread throughout the US swine population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. In 2005, the spread of these viruses to Canada were reported in Canadian swine, turkey, and mink populations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. Group 2 represents viruses with HA, NA, PB1, and NS genes closely related to trH3N2 viruses. The remaining internal genes are genetically related to A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. These 4 Ontario H3N2 viruses exhibited the same gene assemblage as those found in trH3N2 influenza viruses isolated from breeder turkey flocks in Southern Ontario during 2011 (FAV-009 and FAV-010). Group 3 represents viruses with HA and NA genes closely related to trH3N2 viruses, with all internal genes genetically related to A(H1N1)pdm09. Although structurally the same gene assemblage has been observed as in the recent Quebec isolates [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>], more detailed analysis showed that some gene segments in this group of 2 viruses were most similar to the Ontario H3N2 historical isolates from 2005, suggesting that these viruses likely were of Ontario origin, and not introduced from Quebec, despite frequent swine movement between the two Canadian provinces. In 2009, a previously unrecognized H1N1 swine-origin subtype comprising a gene combination of North American and Eurasian IAV-S was isolated from humans in the US and Mexico [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. This virus spread globally as the first pandemic of the 21th century. Shortly after the virus was first isolated from humans in the USA and Mexico, human-to-animal transmission was reported in Canada by Howden et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>] and Berhane et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. Virus isolates from Canadian pigs were phylogenetically similar to A(H1N1)pdm09 virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>], which is often detected in the Canadian swine population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. The characterization of the Ontario H3N2 viruses clearly indicates reassortment of gene segments between the North American swine trH3N2 from Cluster IV and the A(H1N1)pdm09. Structurally similar viruses have been observed on multiple occasions since A(H1N1)pdm09 emerged in 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. More recently, Kitikon et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>] reported at least ten unique groups of H3N2 reassortants based on H3N2/H1N1pdm(09) gene combination. Findings in this study have implications for animal and public health, because H3N2 viruses with the matrix gene from H1N1pdm09 were implicated in influenza outbreaks in people attending agricultural fairs in US in 2012 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>], showed efficient droplet transmission in experimental studies on ferrets [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>], and increased person-to-person transmissibility in modelling studies based on outbreak data in people [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>].</p><p>The percentage of aa identity of HA1 between the prototype Cluster IV trH3N2 virus [A/swine/Ontario/33853/2005/(H3N2)] and 10 Ontario H3N2 viruses ranged from 94.5% to 95.7%. We detected 8 aa changes at 4 antigenic sites (A, B, C and E) for Group 1 viruses, 8 aa changes at 3 antigenic sites (A, B and C) for Group 2, and 4 aa changes at 3 antigenic sites (B, D and E) for Group 3. According to Wilson and Cox [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>], a drift variant with ≥4 aa changes at ≥2 of 5 antigenic sites could be of epidemiologic importance. Additionally, Wood et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>] and Kodihalli et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>] have shown that 1 to 3 aa changes in the HA1 of H1N1 and H3N2 viruses can reduce cross reactivity and efficacy of inactivated vaccine. This leaves open the possibility that several variants of H3N2 could co-circulate in the same population. However, more detailed serological studies and field studies should be done to better appreciate the potential for such co-circulation or the frequency with which this occurs.</p><p>Although, the Ontario H3N2 viruses from this study shared 5 potential N-linked glycosylation sites at positions 22, 38, 63, 126, and 285 with the closely related cluster IV A/swine/Ontario/33853/2005/(H3N2) virus, Group 2 (4 viruses) lacked a potential glycosylation site at position 126, Group 1 (4 viruses) had an additional potential glycosylation site at position 8, and 3 viruses in Group 1 lacked a glycosylation site at position 165. The existence of N-glycosylation is essential for viral membrane glycoproteins. The N-glycans encode required information for folding, maturation, transport or degradation of proteins [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. Glycosylation seems to be one mechanism by which a virus masks its epitopes and escapes neutralization by the host antibodies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>]. However, the study of Vigerust et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>] linked increased glycosylation of influenza viruses with decreased virulence.</p><p>The M2 is the target of the anti-influenza drugs amantadine and rimantadine. Resistance-associated mutation to adamantanes S31N has been detected in 6 Ontario H3N2 viruses indicating resistance to amantadine and rimantadine. According to our findings at least 6 Ontario swH3N2 viruses out of 10 evaluated can be expected to offer resistance to amantadine and rimantadine.</p><p>In conclusion, this study showed that at least 3 different variants of H3N2 viruses circulated in Ontario swine in 2011 and 2012. Group 1 viruses are most closely related to trH3N2 viruses from 2005 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. Group 2 viruses are closely related to H3N2 viruses that were previously reported in Ontario turkeys [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. It is important to note that there were no clear epidemiological linkages among swine and turkey farms with detected viruses, although no detailed disease investigations were performed as a part of this study. Group 3 viruses are most closely related to swH3N2/A(H1N1)pdm09 reassortant viruses from swine in the province of Quebec, but are likely of Ontario origin. According to amino acid sequence analysis of the M2 protein, Ontario H3N2 viruses can be expected to offer resistance to adamantane derivatives, but not to neuraminidase inhibitors.</p></sec><sec id="Sec9" sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="Sec10"><title>Study populations</title><p>Invitation for participation in the study was distributed through the Ontario Association of Swine Veterinarians’ email distribution list. Inclusion criterion for these herds was the current or recent presence of clinical signs suggestive of infection with influenza A virus as indicated by a herd veterinarian. Twenty-one Ontario swine herds were sampled between November 2011 and May 2013, with the majority of 18 herds sampled in 2012. Groups and animals showing clinical signs suggestive of influenza were targeted for sampling. Dacron-tipped nasal swabs were collected from both nostrils of individual animals, deposited in PBS, and transported to a virology laboratory (Department of Pathobiology, University of Guelph). Nasal swabs were either tested within 24 h or frozen at −80°C before being inoculated in MDCK cells. The originally planned sample size was 100 per herd, sufficient to detect a prevalence of infection between 2% and 3%. However, actual sample size varied depending on the prevalence of clinical signs and resources available for sampling.</p><p>In twelve of those 21 herds an additional 30 nasal swabs were collected from individual animals with clinical signs indicative of influenza. These samples were transported in 2 ml of VTM and submitted to the Animal Health Laboratory (AHL, University of Guelph, ON, Canada). The samples were then pooled 3:1 and tested with a rtRT-PCR directed to the matrix protein of influenza A viruses.</p><p>Eleven viruses from 10 herds that tested positive for H3N2 influenza virus were included in the full genome sequencing study. The viruses were selected purposively so that only one farm per production system was included. For 9 herds, one randomly selected virus was included; and for one herd, 2 randomly selected viruses were included.</p></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Samples submitted to the virology laboratory of the department of pathobiology</title><p>Swab samples were added to MDCK cells as described elsewhere [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>].

Briefly, the cDNA was synthesized with Random Primer (Invitrogen, Canada Inc., Burlington, ON, Canada) and by SuperScript™ II Reverse Transcriptase, Invitrogen, Canada Inc Burlington, ON, Canada) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The subtype was determined by reverse transcription (RT-PCR) and further characterized by full genome sequencing using 454 sequencing technology. The RT-PCR subtyping was performed on the harvested virus infected cell culture supernatant, as identified by CPE and HA. Primer pairs utilized in study for subtype determination were: HA gene (subtype H1Forw 5′-GTTCTGCTATATACATTTGC-3′, H1Rev 5′-GACCCATTAGAGCACATC-3′ or H3Forw 5′-GGA-AGT-GAC-AAC-AGC-AT-3′, H3Rev (5′-AGC-TGA-ACA-CCT-TTG-ATC-T-3′) 5′- and NA gene (subtype N1Forw 5′- TAACATCAGCAACATCAACT-3′, N1Rev GTCGCCCTCTGATTAGTT-3′ or N2 Forw 5′- GGCTCTGTTTCTCTCATC-3′, N Rev 5′- CAAGTCCTGAGCATACATA-3′). The PCR was performed with 35 cycles of 94°C for 15 s, 54°C for 30s, and 72°C for 60 s. The results of the RT-PCR assay designated the influenza virus type A virus to be either subtype H1N1 or H3N2.</p></sec><sec id="Sec12"><title>Samples submitted to the AHL</title><p>Viral RNA was extracted on an automated platform using the MagMAX™ Express-96 instrument and MagMAX™ 96 Viral RNA Isolation kit (cat#AM1836), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To identify swine influenza A viruses a rtRT-PCR was used with matrix primers redesigned by Dr J. Pasick (CFIA, Winnipeg, MB,CA), enhanced for the detection of A(H1N1)pdm09, using SIV Forward Primer - 5′d AGA TGA GTC YTC TAA CCG AGG TCG 3′; SIV Reverse Primer - 5′d TGC AAA RAC AYY TTC MAG TCT CTG 3′. An AIV M + 64 Probe -5′FAM-TCA GGC CCC CTC AAA GCC GA-BHQ-1 3′designed by Spackman et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>] was used.

These were used in combination with the Ambion AgPath-ID one-step RT-PCR Kit Cat #AM1005, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.</p><p>If the matrix rtRT-PCR was positive, then the specimen was processed for virus isolation using MDCK cells and rtRT-PCR subtyping was performed on the harvested virus infected cell culture supernatant, as identified by CPE and HA using chicken, turkey or guinea pig red blood cells. Where large concentrations of virus were present in clinical samples, as evidenced by low CT values in the matrix rtRT-PCR, subtyping was attempted directly from clinical samples. However in the majority of cases clinical samples did not have high enough levels of viral RNA for successful subtyping and cell culture supernatant was used.</p><p>The first step for subtyping was initial production of complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA extracted from MDCK or allantoic fluid culture isolates using random hexamer priming and MuLV reverse transcriptase. During the second step the cDNA was amplified using single primer pairs to type the isolate as H1N1 or H3N2. Primer pairs were complementary to the HA gene (subtype H1 -612 F5′-GGT GTG ACG GCA GCA TGC CCT-3′;H1 612 R 5′-AGC AAT GGC TCC AAA CAG ACC-3′ or H3 722 F 5′-CARATTGARGTGACHAATGC-3′; H3 722 R 5′-GGTGCATCTGAYCTCATTA-3′) and the NA gene (subtype N1 533 F 5′-CTT CCT ATC CAA ACA CCA TT-3′; N1 533 R5′-TTG CTT GGT CAG CAA GTG-3′ or N2 385 F 5′-ACGACAGATCCAGCAGTAGC-3′; N2 385R 5′-GAGCCTGTTCCATATGTACC-3′).
