> Respiratory swab samples were collected from 5 pet ferrets (Mustela
> putorius furo) exhibiting influenza-like illness. The ferrets
> represented 3 households in 2 states. In each case, the owners
> reported influenza-like illness in themselves or family members
> prior to the onset of a similar illness in the ferrets. Real-time
> reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays designed for
> the detection of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza A virus were conducted in
> the state animal health laboratories. The assays included detection
> of the matrix gene of Influenza A virus and neuraminidase gene
> specific for 2009 H1N1 virus. Samples were positive for both
> screening assays. The samples were confirmed positive by the
> National Veterinary Services Laboratories. The history of illness in
> family members prior to illness in the ferrets suggests that
> Influenza A virus was transmitted from humans to the ferrets. PMID:
> 20807944 [PubMed - in process]
