摘要

Highlights
·Full-length genome sequences of previously unreported reassortant swine influenza A(H1N2) virus from domestic pigs in Hong Kong SAR.
·Phylogenetic analyses revealed close genetic relationship with swine influenza A(H1N2) viruses circulating in Taiwan.
·Swine influenza A(H1N2) viruses possess potential risk of pig-to-human transmission.
