Genetic diversity and circulation of influenza A viruses in Italian pig farms: insights from surveillance and vaccination Chiara Chiapponi, Alice Prosperi, Laura Soliani, Aurora De Mattia, Ada Mescoli, Camilla Torreggiani, Benedetta Cordioli, Ana Moreno, Luca Ferrari, Melania Andrani, Elena De Angelis, Valeria Cavalli, Giovanbattista Guadagnini, Davide Ponzoni, Emanuela Pileri, Matteo Ricchi, Paolo Borghetti, Paolo Martelli, Andrea Luppi Porcine Health Management, 2026 BACKGROUND: The genetic diversity of influenza A viruses in swine (IAV-S) in Europe, including key subtypes such as H1N1, H3N2, H1N2, and H1N1pdm09 (which features H1 hemagglutinin genes from the H1A, H1B, and H1C genetic clades), presents challenges for vaccine development and raises concerns about potential swine-to-human transmission. IAV-S also affects the pork industry, requiring management practices such as vaccination and the adoption of biosecurity measures. To evaluate the dynamics of IAV-S infections in large pig herds and assess viral diversity and circulation patterns in pig farms, two Northern Italian farrow-to-finish farms with prior IAV-S infections participated in a 2022 longitudinal study. Sows and their piglets were sampled during farrowing and nursery. In 2023, a follow-up evaluated IAV-S circulation after implementing different vaccination strategies on the two farms, including vaccination of sows and piglets. RESULTS: The circulation of multiple IAV-S strains into the two farms was observed, identifying H1BN2, H1AN1, H1CN1, and H1CN2, characterized by different genetic patterns. We confirmed that maternal immunity was ineffective in preventing virus circulation among piglets. HI tests showed variability in detecting strains, raising concerns about their specificity. After vaccination was implemented on both farms, we detected only H1CN2 strains, but with distinct genetic patterns. CONCLUSIONS: The study highlighted the genetic diversity of IAV-S strains circulating in Italian pig farms, including potential incursions from unknown external sources. Vaccination efforts resulted in broad antibody responses; however, as expected, they did not eliminate viral circulation. The diversity of lineage-derived H1C strains, along with the emergence of H1C2.4 strains, will require further investigation.
Genomic epidemiology and phylogeographic reconstruction of West Nile virus 2 in Italy from 2011 to 2023 Carla della Ventura, Maya Carrera, Francesco Defilippo, Davide Lelli, Chiara Nogarol, Maria Lucia Mandola, Alessia Lai, Annalisa Bergna, Francesca Moroni, Ana Moreno, Gianguglielmo Zehender One Health, 2026 Since its introduction to Europe in 2004, West Nile Virus Lineage 2 (WNV-2) has become endemic, with Italy reporting the highest number of cases each season. In 2022, WNV infections in Italy exceeded those recorded during the major 2018 outbreak—the largest ever reported in Europe. This study investigates the genomic epidemiology of WNV during the 2022 and 2023 transmission seasons. We analyzed 123 environmental samples from wild birds and mosquito pools collected between May and October 2022–2023 in northwestern Italy. All but one sample belonged to Lineage 2; lineage 1 was detected in two bird samples, with one showing co-infection. A total of 98 complete genomes were sequenced. Phylogeographic reconstruction indicated the origin of the main European clade in Hungary in 2004, with introduction into Italy between 2009 and 2010. Most Italian genomes clustered within a single highly supported subclade, with one sampled in the Marche region in 2011 as the outgroup. Continuous phylogeographic analysis suggested the Italian WNV-2 clade originated in 2009 in the area between Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy, followed by east-west spread during 2022–2023. Several mutations were identified, including F49L in the NS2A gene linked to neuronal tropism, and M184V in the NS4B gene, associated with increased pathogenicity. Our results highlight how integrated genomic surveillance of WNV, combining whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses to environmental samples, can support One Health approaches for early detection and risk assessment of arboviral transmission. • Phylogeographic reconstruction suggests a single main entry of WNV-2 into Italy in 2009, with subsequent spread eastward and westward across the Po Valley. • Distinct regional clusters and key mutations under positive selection indicate co-circulating viral populations with varying pathogenic potential. • Integration of genomic, temporal, and spatial data highlights the importance of real-time molecular surveillance in WNV outbreak management.
Emerging neurotropic tick-borne flavivirus infections in goats and wild ungulates in the Italian Alps Emanuela Olivieri, Davide Lelli, Alessandro Bianchi, Sara Rigamonti, Nadia Vicari, Andrea Grassi, Mattia Calzolari, Monica Cerioli, Ana Moreno, Norbert Nowotny, Lucia Rita Gibelli, Paola Prati, Irene Bertoletti Ticks and Tick Borne Diseases, 2026 Recently a novel neurotropic tick-borne flavivirus (TBFV) was isolated from Alpine chamois with encephalitis and from attached ticks in the Austrian federal state of Salzburg and the Italian provinces of Piedmont and Lombardy, preliminarily characterized, and provisionally named Alpine chamois encephalitis virus (ACEV). However, several aspects of this newly described virus-including its host range and epidemiology-remain unknown. Therefore, surveillance was conducted in 2023 and 2024 in the Orobic Alps (Northern Italy) to investigate the circulation of this virus in wild and domestic ruminants and attached ticks, and to characterize clinical cases. Neurological cases in goats and chamois revealed meningoencephalitis by histopathology and tested positive for ACEV by RT-PCR and sequencing. Viral RNA was also detected in 5 out of 34 Ixodes ricinus ticks (15%) collected from an affected goat. In domestic goats, serological screening of animals from affected farms revealed TBFV antibodies in 16 out of 67 animals (24%), while antibodies were detected in 19 out of 1462 individuals (1.3%) sampled through broader wildlife surveillance, including 11 red deer, 7 chamois, and 1 roe deer. These findings provide evidence of active ACEV transmission at the wildlife-livestock-vector interface in the Italian Alps, highlight its clinical relevance in ruminants, and raise concerns for potential risk for human health through consumption of unpasteurized goat milk and goat milk products, emphasizing the need for integrated One Health surveillance.
Evolutionary dynamics of Erinaceus coronavirus in Italy: spike protein adaptation and variable CD200 ortholog insertion Luca De Sabato, Ilaria Di Bartolo, Irene Berselli, Giovanni Ianiro, Marina Monini, Monica Giammarioli, Marco Gobbi, Riccardo Orusa, Serena Robetto, Maria Lucia Mandola, Chiara Nogarol, Ana Moreno, Davide Lelli, Claudia Cotti, Mauro Delogu, Maria Alessandra De Marco, Stefania Leopardi, Francesca Festa, Manuela Marra, Valentina Libri, Stefania Pulcini, Francesca Manzia, Roberto Nardini, Maria Teresa Scicluna, Antonella Cersini, Claudia Eleni, Giulia Pacchiarotti, Gianluca Nocco, Maria Teresa Capucchio, Gabriele Vaccari Frontiers in Virology, 2026 Introduction In 2013, a novel coronavirus (CoV) species was identified in European hedgehogs ( Erinaceus europaeus ) in Germany. Since then, only a limited number of studies reported the circulation of this virus, recognized as Erinaceus coronavirus (EriCoV), and demonstrated its evolutionary relationship with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Given that MERS-CoV is one of the three zoonotic coronaviruses known to cause severe disease in humans, these findings raise concerns about the zoonotic potential of EriCoV strains. In a previous study conducted in Italy, eight complete EriCoV genomes were obtained from hedgehogs sampled in Northern Italy, revealing substantial genetic heterogeneity among circulating strains. Genome analyses also identified the insertion of a gene encoding the CD200 ortholog, containing a short region potentially involved in host immune modulation. The present study aimed to investigate the circulation and genetic diversity of coronaviruses in hedgehogs from different areas of Italy and to assess the occurrence and distribution of the CD200 ortholog insertion. Methods Complete EriCoV genomes were obtained from 35 hedgehogs using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) by Ion Torrent machine. For an additional 20 animals, full genome sequences could not be generated; therefore, sequences were obtained by nested RT-PCR amplifying partial sequences of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene and, when present, on the CD200 insertion. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences obtained were performed. Results Phylogenetic analysis revealed no clear geographic clustering, with sequences from Northern Italy interspersed with those from Central and Southern Italy. Analysis of the spike (S) protein identified 25 sites evolving under positive selection, three of which were located within the receptor-binding domain (RBD). The CD200 ortholog was confirmed in 15 complete genomes and in 5 additional samples by RT-PCR, collected from both Northern and Southern Italy. Discussion Overall, the study confirms that EriCoV related strains are found across the country. A CD200 insertion appears in both Northern and Southern regions, but it is not consistently present, indicating that this insertion is not fixed within the viral population. Sites found under positive selection in spike protein, including three in the receptor-binding domain, that may be relevant for host–virus interactions and merit further investigation in the context of cross-species transmission risks.
Investigation of Potential Cross-Protection Conferred by the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Against Swine Influenza A Viruses of Pandemic Potential Alice Lilley, Chiara Chiapponi, Alice Prosperi, Ana Moreno, Laura Soliani, Nicola Lewis, Ruth Harvey Vaccines, 2026 Background/Objectives: Influenza A viruses cause seasonal epidemics of respiratory infections in humans, the severity of which can be mitigated by influenza vaccine use. Influenza A viruses circulating in pigs continue to pose a pandemic threat, as evidenced by the influenza virus that caused the 2009 pandemic, which originated in pigs. To understand the relative risk of emergence of influenza A viruses from pigs and to assess the potential role of the seasonal influenza vaccine in mitigating this risk, we evaluate the potential cross-protection afforded by the seasonal influenza vaccine against different clades of recently circulating swine influenza A viruses. Methods: The presence of cross-reactive antibodies in pre- and post-vaccination human serum samples was measured in haemagglutination and microneutralisation assays. Representative H1 swine influenza A viruses from different genetic lineages were tested against sera collected after administration of the seasonal influenza vaccine in healthy adult volunteers over a 6-year time-period. Results: Although a clade-dependent boosting of post-vaccination antibody titres was observed, protective titres often failed to be reached. There was heterogeneity in recognition by sera for the contemporary swine influenza A viruses, with the 1C.2.1 clade virus being well recognised in both assays, whilst very low pre- and post-vaccination antibody titres were observed against the 1A.3.3.2 clade (which emerged in pigs following the reverse zoonotic introduction from humans of the A/H1N1 pdm09 virus) by both assays. Conclusions: Seasonal influenza vaccines produce cross-reactive antibodies against some clades of influenza A viruses circulating in pigs, but not all. Depending on the lineage and clade of the virus, the seasonal influenza vaccine might have utility in the event of a swine variant outbreak in humans, whilst a specific vaccine against the outbreak strain is developed.
Characterization of Pestivirus tauri (BVDV-2, Subtype c) Isolates in Northern Italy Using Whole-Genome Sequencing Enrica Sozzi, Maya Carrera, Chiara Chiapponi, Laura Soliani, Ambra Nucci, Rita Muratore, Gabriele Leo, Anna Marelli, Davide Lelli, Tiziana Trogu, Clara Tolini, Giovanni Loris Alborali, Moira Bazzucchi, Ana Moreno Viruses, 2026 Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is a major cause of economic losses in the global cattle industry, particularly in countries characterized by intensive livestock production systems. Pestivirus tauri, formerly known as Bovine viral diarrhea virus type 2 (BVDV-2), is the current taxonomic designation according to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). Between 2005 and 2018, Pestivirus tauri was detected in cattle herds in mainland Italy, particularly in the Lombardy region. Four viral strains were successfully isolated in cell cultures and subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Phylogenetic reconstruction placed all Italian isolates within the Pestivirus tauri subgenotype c, a lineage encompassing strains reported in Asia, Europe and the United States. Consistently, comparative sequence identity analyses indicated the highest similarity with the Parker strain (USA, 1991) and the Potsdam 1600 strain (Germany, 2000). These results contribute to a more detailed understanding of Pestivirus tauri genomic architecture and evolutionary dynamics, providing a valuable resource for comparative genomic studies. Such data are crucial for exploring viral diversity and evolution, optimizing the design of diagnostic primers and probes, and advancing insights into the molecular epidemiology of Pestivirus.
Can the Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano production process guarantee a reduction in pathogenic microorganisms equivalent to the pasteurization process? Paolo Bonilauri, Alfonso Rosamilia, Stefano Benedetti, Paolo Daminelli, Marina Nadia Losio, Ana Moreno, Matteo Ricchi, Nicola Santini, Giorgio Varisco, Silvia Vianello, Giuseppe Merialdi Italian Journal of Food Safety, 2026 Italian hard cheeses made in the Pianura Padana area, such as Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano, are traditionally produced from raw milk and undergo extended ripening periods. These processes generate multiple microbiological hurdles that can inactivate pathogens. However, current European regulations do not formally recognize the impact of these hurdles as equivalent to pasteurization, limiting trade opportunities. This extensive literature review evaluated experimental studies published between 2000 and 2025 assessing pathogen reduction during Grana-type cheese production. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria and examined Escherichia coli, O157:H7 Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium bovis, M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), and avian influenza viruses (H1N1, H5N1). Across trials, high inoculum levels declined by >4 log10 within 24-48 hours, primarily during curd cooking and acidification. MAP and M. bovis were eliminated during ripening, within 90 days, while both influenza viruses were inactivated within 30 days. Calculated F-values were used as comparative indicators of equivalence, allowing the overall reduction achieved through the production process to be compared with the standard pasteurization benchmark (72°C for 15 seconds). F-values exceeded this high-temperature short-time reference, confirming the substantial lethality of the process. Overall, evidence indicates that traditional Grana-type cheese production ensures microbiological safety at least comparable to pasteurization through the synergistic action of multiple hurdles. While European regulations currently treat ripening as an additional measure rather than an equivalent to pasteurization, our findings support reconsideration of this approach and provide a scientific basis for future regulatory evaluation.
Inactivation of Influenza A Viruses (H1N1, H5N1) During Grana-Type Raw Milk Cheesemaking: Implications for Foodborne Transmission Risk Ana Moreno, Stefano Pongolini, Giuseppe Merialdi, Giovanni Cattoli, Calogero Terregino, Nicola Santini, Stefano Benedetti, Luisa Loli Piccolomini, Anna Padovani, Alfonso Rosamilia, Giovanni Loris Alborali, Paolo Daminelli Viruses, 2025 The detection of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) in lactating dairy cattle in the United States, with high viral titers in raw milk, has raised concerns about zoonotic transmission through unpasteurized milk and dairy products. While viral inactivation during pasteurization is documented, data on persistence in raw-milk cheeses remain limited. This study evaluated the survival of avian influenza viruses (AIVs), both low pathogenic (LPAIV, H1N1) and highly pathogenic (HPAIV, H5N1), during the production and ripening of Grana-type hard cheeses from raw cow’s milk. Experimental cheesemaking was carried out with milk artificially contaminated with A/duck/Italy/281904-2/06 (H1N1; 107.75 EID50/mL) or A/duck/Italy/326224-2/22 (H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b; 106.75 EID50/mL). Cheeses were manufactured under Parmigiano-Reggiano standards and ripened 30 days at 5–6 °C. Viral detection in finished cheeses was performed using inoculation in specific-pathogen-free embryonated chicken eggs (SPF-ECEs), hemagglutination (HA) assay, and monoclonal antibody-based ELISA. No infectious virus was detected in cheese samples after two blind passages in SPF-ECEs. Both HA and ELISA tests were negative, indicating complete viral inactivation. These results demonstrate that Grana-type cheese processing, including cooking, acidification, and ripening, effectively inactivates LPAIV and HPAIV. Findings support the microbiological safety of raw-milk hard cheeses regarding AIV, contributing to risk assessment and food safety policies.
Human-Derived H3N2 Influenza A Viruses Detected in Pigs in Northern Italy Laura Soliani, Ada Mescoli, Irene Zanni, Laura Baioni, Giovanni Alborali, Ana Moreno, Silvia Faccini, Carlo Rosignoli, Giorgia De Lorenzi, Laura Fiorentini, Camilla Torreggiani, Benedetta Cordioli, Alice Prosperi, Andrea Luppi, Chiara Chiapponi Viruses, 2025 In recent years, the four main swine influenza A virus (IAV-S) subtypes circulating in swine in the EU have been H1avN1, H1huN2, H1N1pdm09, and H3N2. The latter emerged in 1984 from a reassortment event between a human seasonal H3N2 and H1avN1, and is currently detected at low prevalence in swine in Italy. Here, we describe nine H3N2 IAV-S isolates belonging to three novel genotypes, first detected in Italy in 2021, likely resulting from reassortment events between swine and human IAVs. The first genotype was characterized by a hemagglutinin (H3 HA) of human seasonal origin, a neuraminidase (N2 NA) derived from H1huN2 strains circulating in Italian swine, and an avian-like internal gene cassette (IGC). The second genotype differed in its IGC constellation: PB2, PB1, PA and NP segments were of pandemic origin (pdm09), while NS and M segments derived from the Eurasian avian-like lineage. The third genotype combined a human-derived H3, a Gent/84-derived N2, and a pdm09-origin IGC, except for an avian-like NS. This study aimed to characterize the genetic features of these novel H3huN2 and assess their epidemiological relevance, with implications for surveillance and control, improving preparedness and mitigating the risks posed by zoonotic influenza viruses.
Identification of Reassortant Mammalian Orthoreovirus Strains in European Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus): Genomic Insights and Host Association Tiziana Trogu, Maya Carrera, Clara Tolini, Ambra Nucci, Sabrina Canziani, Guido Grilli, Maria Cristina Rapi, Sara Manfredini, Silva Rubini, Davide Lelli, Valentina Carta, Cristina Bertasio, Enrica Sozzi, Antonio Lavazza, Ana Moreno Microorganisms, 2025 Thanks to its ethological and physiological characteristics, the hedgehog is a synanthropic species of particular importance for the maintenance and possible spread of pathogens, some of which are zoonotic. Among these, we can include the mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV), which is characterized by respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological symptoms in both animals and humans. MRV is characterized by a high capacity for genetic reassortment and intragenic rearrangement, and the ability to infect a wide range of mammals. This work aims to investigate the presence of MRVs and its genomic characterization in hedgehogs. During the two-year period from 2022 to 2023, the intestine and lungs were collected from 293 hedgehogs and subjected to real-time PCR to detect the L1 gene. Positive samples were subjected to a typing RT-PCR targeting a portion of the S1 gene and then to sequencing. A total of 38 hedgehogs tested positive by real-time PCR (p = 13%). Typing RT-PCR demonstrated the positivity of 25 samples for serotype 3. Four samples, representative of the main groups recognized during the phylogenetic analysis, underwent whole genome sequencing, revealing the presence of reassortment phenomena between strains related to bats, chamois, and human MRVs.
