State, no. samples D/13N
 D/46N
 Total seropositive swine, no. (%)
Seropositive swine, no. (%) GMT (range) Seropositive swine, no. (%) GMT (range)
Hawaii, n = 73 11 (16.4) 53.4 (1:40–1:80) 4 (5.5) 67.3 (1:40–1:80) 15 (20.5)
North Carolina, n = 64 4 (6.3) 67.3 (1:40–1:160) 3 (4.7) 40 (1:40–1:40) 5 (7.8)
Oklahoma, n = 49 13 (26.5) 49.5 (1:40–1:80) 3 (6.1) 50.4 (1:40–1:80) 14 (28.6)

*D/13N and D/46N were used in HAI assays with 0.5% turkey red blood cells. Seropositivity defined as HAI titer >1:40. D/13N, influenza D/bovine/C00013N/Mississippi/2014 virus; D/46N, influenza D/bovine/C00046N/Mississippi/2014 virus; GMT, geometric mean titer; HAI, hemagglutination inhibition.
