Swine influenza monitoring programs have been in place in Italy since the 1990's and from 2009 testing for the pandemic H1N1/2009 virus (H1N1pdm) virus was also performed on all the swine samples positive for type A influenza. This paper reports the isolation and genomic characterization of a novel H1N2 swine influenza reassortant strain from pigs in Italy that was derived from the H1N1 pdm virus.
