Low 2016/17 season vaccine effectiveness against hospitalised influenza A(H3N2) among elderly: awareness warranted for 2017/18 season [PDF]

, 2017
In a multicentre European hospital study we measured influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) against A(H3N2) in 2016/17. Adjusted IVE was 17% (95% confidence interval (CI): 1 to 31) overall; 25% (95% CI: 2 to 43) among 65-79-year-olds and 13% (95% CI: -15 ...

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 ...

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.

Emergence of novel reassortant H3N2 swine influenza viruses with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 genes in the United States [PDF]

, 2012
Reassortant H1 swine influenza viruses (SIVs) carrying 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus (pH1N1) genes have been isolated from pigs worldwide. Seven novel reassortant H3N2 SIVs were identified from diseased pigs in the USA from winter 2010 to spring 2011.

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 ...

An Outbreak of Influenza A (H3N2) in a Nursing Home

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1996
In the nursing home belonging to our hospital, an outbreak of influenza A (H3N2) occurred in January 1995, and we studied 23 elderly residents with influenza A infection. Twenty three residents with influenza A (8 males and 15 females) ranged in age from 67 to 95 years (average 83.1 years), 91.3% of them were bedridden.

An epitope-optimized human H3N2 influenza vaccine induces broadly protective immunity in mice and ferrets

npj Vaccines, 2022
There is a crucial need for an improved H3N2 influenza virus vaccine due to low vaccine efficacy rates and increased morbidity and mortality associated with H3N2-dominated influenza seasons.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of 6‐Sulfo Sialyl Lewisx Containing Glycans to Probe the Receptor Specificity of MERS Coronavirus

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A chemoenzymatic methodology is described that provided a panel of 6‐sulfo sialyl Lewisx‐containing glycans that were probed for receptor specificity of MERS‐CoV. Although the fucoside of 6‐sulfo‐SLex does not directly interact with the spike, it pre‐organizes the molecule into a conformation to allow a salt bridge between the sulfate and the ...

Seasonal influenza vaccination expands hemagglutinin-specific antibody breadth to older and future A/H3N2 viruses

npj Vaccines, 2022
History of influenza A/H3N2 exposure, especially childhood infection, shape antibody responses after influenza vaccination and infection, but have not been extensively studied.
