Transmission of Avian Influenza Virus (H3N2) to Dogs [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
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 ...

Diversity in the Circulation of Influenza A(H3N2) Viruses in the Northern Hemisphere in the 2018–19 Season

Vaccines, 2021
While vaccination is considered the most effective means to prevent influenza infection, its seasonal effectiveness varies, depending on the circulating influenza strains.

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]

Microbiology Spectrum
Evaluating how prior immunity to seasonal influenza viruses influences subsequent zoonotic influenza A virus (IAV) infection in animal models is critical for pandemic preparedness.

H3N2 avian influenza viruses detected in live poultry markets in China bind to human-type receptors and transmit in guinea pigs and ferrets

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
The H3N2 influenza viruses became widespread in humans during the 1968 H3N2 pandemic and have been a major cause of influenza epidemics ever since. Different lineages of H3N2 influenza viruses are also commonly found in animals. If a different lineage of

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 ...

Emergence and Characterization of a Novel Reassortant Canine Influenza Virus Isolated from Cats

Pathogens, 2021
Cats are susceptible to a wide range of influenza A viruses (IAV). Furthermore, cats can serve as an intermediate host, and transfer avian influenza virus (AIV) H7N2 to a veterinarian.

Influenza virus immune imprinting dictates the clinical outcomes in ferrets challenged with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Zoonotic transmission of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) into the human population is an increasing global threat. The recent 2022 HPAIV outbreak significantly highlighted this possibility, increasing concern in the general ...

Evaluation of Next-Generation H3 Influenza Vaccines in Ferrets Pre-Immune to Historical H3N2 Viruses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Each person has a unique immune history to past influenza virus infections. Exposure to influenza viruses early in life establishes memory B cell populations that influence future immune responses to influenza vaccination.

Predominance of a Drifted Influenza A (H3N2) Clade and its Association with Age-specific Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Variations, Influenza Season 2018–2019

Vaccines, 2020
Background: Influenza A (H3N2) clade 3C.3a was the predominant influenza virus in Israel throughout the 2018-2019 season, constituting a drift from the influenza A (H3N2) vaccine.
