Abstract
A total of 3651 blood samples collected from nonvaccinated pigs in 45 Romanian herds and tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay against H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes revealed an H1N1 subtype seroprevalence of 44.4%. Prevalence differed by parity (P < .01), with the highest prevalence at parity 5-6.
