Equine‐origin H3N8 has circulated in dogs in the United States since 1999. A genetically and antigenically distinct avian‐origin H3N2 canine influenza was detected in March of 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. Subsequent outbreaks were reported with over 1000 dogs in the Midwest affected followed by 23 additional states with detections within 5 months. The potential for canine‐to‐swine transmission was unknown. Experimental infection in pigs showed this virus does not replicate efficiently in swine.
