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.

Heterologous prime-boost vaccination with H3N2 influenza viruses of swine favors cross-clade antibody responses and protection [PDF]
, 2017 The emergence of multiple novel lineages of H1 and H3 influenza A viruses in swine has confounded control by inactivated vaccines. Because of substantial genetic and geographic heterogeneity among circulating swine influenza viruses, one vaccine strain ...

Early Prediction of Antigenic Transitions for Influenza A H3N2
PLOS Computational Biology, 2019 Abstract Influenza A/H3N2 is a rapidly evolving virus which experiences major antigenic transitions every two to eight years. Anticipating the timing and outcome of transitions is critical to developing effective seasonal influenza vaccines.

H3N2 Canine Influenza Virus Infection in a Dog [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2016 In 2015, H3N2 canine influenza emerged in dogs in the greater Chicago area. During this time, a 10-year-old German Shepherd dog presented to the referring veterinarian with lethargy and coughing that quickly progressed to death. This report describes the macroscopic and microscopic lesions and the molecular testing performed to identify the novel ...
