Abstract: To better understand, we investigated the SO (H1N1) IV in 40 pig farms from 9 cities in Shandong province. Serum samples (263) and nasal swabs(235)from pigs with flu-like symptoms were collected, respectively. The positive rates of nasal swabs and blood samples were measured using Real-time RT-PCR and HI-test, respectively. Results demonstrated that, the positive rates of serum samples were 23.07% to 63.33%, accounting for 30.63%; the positive rates of nasal swabs were 10.0% to 64.28%, accounting for 30.63%. This result provided the basis to understand the SO (H1N1) IV distribution in Shandong province.
