Transmission of Avian Influenza Virus (H3N2) to Dogs
In South Korea, where avian influenza virus subtypes H3N2, H5N1, H6N1, and H9N2 circulate or have been detected, 3 genetically similar canine influenza virus (H3N2) strains of avian origin (A/canine/Korea/01/2007, A/canine/Korea/02/2007, and A/canine ...

A live-attenuated influenza vaccine for H3N2 canine influenza virus
Canine influenza is a contagious respiratory disease in dogs caused by two subtypes (H3N2 and H3N8) of canine influenza virus (CIV). Currently, only inactivated influenza vaccines (IIVs) are available for the prevention of CIVs. Historically, live-attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) have been shown to produce better immunogenicity and protection ...

Assessment of pre and postinfection immunity to the hemagglutinin proteins of Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and Influenza A(H3N2) in India: a retrospective longitudinal study [PDF]
Background Hemagglutinin (HA), one of the main surface glycoproteins of the influenza virus, is essential for viral entry into host cells. Antibodies targeting HA can neutralize the virus, offering protection against infection.

Northern Hemisphere 2025/26 influenza vaccine effectiveness during months with influenza A(H3N2) subclade K predominance— Suzhou, Eastern China [PDF]
During this 2025/26 Northern Hemisphere influenza season, the predominant influenza A(H3N2) subclade K virus has binding site mutations and postvaccine sera reduced inhibition, raising concerns about antigenic differences with available vaccines.

Prior immunity to seasonal influenza A(H3N2) virus confers varying levels of cross-protection against challenge with clade 2.3.4.4b A(H5N1), A(H7N9), or A(H9N2) virus in a ferret model [PDF]
Evaluating how prior immunity to seasonal influenza viruses influences subsequent zoonotic influenza A virus (IAV) infection in animal models is critical for pandemic preparedness.

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

A comparison of the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of adult patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza A or B during the 2011-2012 influenza season in Korea: a multi-center study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: During the 2011/2012 winter influenza season in the Republic of Korea, influenza A (H3N2) was the predominant virus in the first peak period of influenza activity during the second half of January 2012.

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

Due to antigenic drift and shift of influenza A viruses (IAV) and the tendency to elicit predominantly strain-specific antibodies, humanity remains susceptible to new strains of seasonal IAV and is at risk from viruses with pandemic potential for which ...
