*Values expressed represent geometric mean hemagglutination inhibition titers (95% CI). Eur., Europe; N. Am., North America.
†Human IAV that no longer circulates; TW86 is the presumed human precursor for human-like H1 swine IAVs in Europe; NC99 is the presumed human precursor for human-like H1 swine IAVs in North America; BR07 is a human seasonal IAV that circulated right before the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus; the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, represented by CA09, is circulating in both humans and swine worldwide.
‡Age at the end of 2017.
