contents <p><span>Coronaviruses and influenza A viruses are major respiratory pathogens with pandemic potential. Using pigs as a translational large-animal model, we compared the virulence, pathogenesis, and immune responses to porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) and pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza virus (pH1N1). </span><span>PRCV induced higher viral load and prolonged viral shedding, stronger systemic and mucosal T cell activation, expansion of memory B cells, and distinct nasal microbiome changes. In contrast pH1N1 resulted in rapid neutralising antibody production, robust Tfh and germinal centre B cell responses, and broader early nasal microbial diversity. Transcriptional responses to PRCV and pH1N1 infection started with the activation of shared interferon-stimulated genes but later diverged as pathways involving stromal-immune interactions and vascular integrity shaped lung pathology and subsequent immune responses.</span><span> These findings demonstrate fundamental differences in coronavirus and influenza virus-host interactions and establish the pig as a powerful comparative model for studying respiratory virus pathogenesis and immunity.</span></p>
