The OFFLU Swine Influenza Virus (SIV) group is a network of experts on swine influenza who are actively engaged in research and surveillance activities to understand the disease and contribute to improving its control and prevention. The SIV group represents both animal health and public health sectors with a goal to have global representation. By sharing and analyzing surveillance data the group will generate a global picture of influenza viruses circulating in swine, shared with the international community through regular bulletins and scientific publications and made available on the OFFLU website. The ultimate goal of the group is to reduce the burden of swine influenza on animal and human health through promotion of detection and intervention programs on a global scale.
