The human MxA protein efficiently blocks the replication of IAV from nonhuman species. In rare cases, however, these IAV overcome the species barrier and become pandemic. All known pandemic viruses have acquired and maintained MxA escape mutations in the viral NP and thus are not efficiently controlled by MxA. Intriguingly, partial MxA resistance can also be acquired in other hosts that express antivirally active Mx proteins, such as swine. To perform a risk assessment of IAV circulating in the European swine population, we analyzed the degree of MxA resistance of Eurasian avian-like swine IAV. Our data demonstrate that these viruses carry formerly undescribed Mx resistance mutations in the NP that mediate efficient escape from human MxA. We conclude that Eurasian avian-like swine IAV possess substantial zoonotic potential.
