Influenza A (H3N2) Outbreak, Nepal

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
In July 2004, an outbreak of influenza A (H3N2) was detected at 3 Bhutanese refugee camps in southeastern Nepal. Hemagglutination inhibition showed that ≈40% of the viruses from this outbreak were antigenically distinct from the A/Wyoming/3/03 vaccine ...

Structure of an H3N2 influenza virus nucleoprotein [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology Communications, 2021
Influenza A viruses of the H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes are responsible for seasonal epidemic events. The influenza nucleoprotein (NP) binds to the viral genomic RNA and is essential for its replication. Efforts are under way to produce therapeutics and vaccines targeting the NP.

Explaining the geographical origins of seasonal influenza A (H3N2) [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Most antigenically novel and evolutionarily successful strains of seasonal influenza A (H3N2) originate in East, South and Southeast Asia. To understand this pattern, we simulated the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of influenza in a host metapopulation representing the temperate north, tropics and temperate south.

H3N2 Emergence in India 

International Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health, 2015
Influenza a pandemic in 2009 was predominantly by H1N1strain, however in the current seasonal outbreak H3N2 is more prevalent in North America, Europe and Eastern Asia. However very few cases have been reported from India. We report a case of 5-year-old girl child with H3N2 infection with acute onset and rapid progression.

Natural co-infection of influenza A/H3N2 and A/H1N1pdm09 viruses resulting in a reassortant A/H3N2 virus

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2015
Despite annual co-circulation of different subtypes of seasonal influenza, co-infections between different viruses are rarely detected. These co-infections can result in the emergence of reassortant progeny.We document the detection of an influenza co-infection, between influenza A/H3N2 with A/H1N1pdm09 viruses, which occurred in a 3 year old male in ...

Potential mechanisms mediating PM2.5-induced alterations of H3N2 influenza virus infection and cytokine production in human bronchial epithelial cells

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with increased hospital admissions for influenza. Airway epithelial cells are a primary target for inhaled environmental insults including fine PM (PM2.5) and influenza viruses.

Fatal Myopericarditis Following an Influenza A (H3N2) Infection [PDF]

American Journal of Case Reports, 2018
BACKGROUND Influenza viruses induce uncomplicated infections in most cases in individuals with no known predisposing factors. Acute febrile illness is generally limited to upper respiratory symptoms and several constitutional symptoms, including headache, lethargy, and myalgia.

Outbreak of Influenza A (H3N2) Variant Virus Infection among Attendees of an Agricultural Fair, Pennsylvania, USA, 2011

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
During August 2011, influenza A (H3N2) variant [A(H3N2)v] virus infection developed in a child who attended an agricultural fair in Pennsylvania, USA; the virus resulted from reassortment of a swine influenza virus with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09.

Timescales of influenza A/H3N2 antibody dynamics

PLOS Biology, 2017
Abstract Human immunity influences the evolution and impact of novel influenza strains. Because individuals are infected with multiple influenza strains during their lifetime and each virus can generate a cross-reactive antibody response, it is challenging to quantify the processes that shape observed immune responses, or to reliably ...

Whole-genome sequences of two influenza A (H3N2) virus strains isolated from Qinghai, China

Biosafety and Health, 2021
Influenza A (H3N2) virus has a faster evolution rate than other types of influenza viruses. In this study, whole genome sequencing was performed to better understand the molecular evolution of influenza H3N2 and the protective effect of influenza virus ...
