Two kinds of novel reassortment H3 subtypes of avian influenza viruses: similar genetic composition, different mammalian transmission capabilities [PDF]

Poultry Science
To assess the potential threat of the novel H3 subtype Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) to the poultry industry and human health, whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic tree and homology analysis were conducted on four H3N3 viruses and one H3N8 virus ...

PB1 S524G mutation of wild bird-origin H3N8 influenza A virus enhances virulence and fitness for transmission in mammals

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021
Influenza H3N8 viruses have been recovered frequently from wild bird species, including Anseriformes (primarily from migratory ducks) and Charadriiformes (primarily from shorebirds). However, little attention has been given to the transmission ability of

From Surfaces to Spillover: Environmental Persistence and Indirect Transmission of Influenza A(H3N8) Virus [PDF]

Microorganisms
Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) pose a significant zoonotic threat, with the emerging H3N8 subtype raising increasing concern due to sporadic human infections. Current strategies for risk assessment of novel AIVs primarily rely on genetic surveillance and

Structural basis of receptor-binding adaptation of human-infecting H3N8 influenza A virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology
Recent avian-origin H3N8 influenza A virus (IAV) that have infected humans pose a potential public health concern. Alterations in the viral surface glycoprotein, hemagglutinin (HA), are typically required for IAVs to cross the species barrier for ...

Virulence and transmission characteristic of H3N8 avian influenza virus circulating in chickens in China [PDF]

Virulence
Influenza H3N8 viruses have been frequently isolated from chicken farms. However, comprehensive characterization of their virological properties, molecular evolution, virulence, and risk of spillover into mammals remains limited.
