Claim 0:
1. A composition for detecting the presence of swine H1N1 influenza A virus comprising:
(a) a first amplification primer, a second amplification primer, and a probe oligonucleotide, wherein
the first amplification primer comprises a swine H1N1 influenza A-specific sequence consisting of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 42;
(ii) the second amplification primer comprises a swine H1N1 influenza A-specific sequence consisting of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 43; and

(c) a swine H1N1 influenza A-specific oligonucleotide detection probe having a swine H1N1 influenza A-specific sequence of at least 18 contiguous nucleotides, wherein the detection probe is complementary to a swine H1N1 influenza A nucleic acid sequence that is amplifiable by the first and second amplification primers, and wherein the detection probe comprises at least a first detectable label operably linked to the oligonucleotide detection probe.
