Full-Length Genome of the Equine Influenza A Virus Subtype H3N8 from 2019 Outbreak in Saudi Arabia
Equine influenza is a major cause of respiratory infections in horses and can spread rapidly despite the availability of commercial vaccines. This study aimed to screen the incidence of equine influenza virus (EIV) and molecularly characterize the ...

Detection of the epidemic of the H3N8 subtype of the equine influenza virus in large-scale donkey farms [PDF]
To monitor the occurrence of equine influenza in large-scale donkey farms in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, serological investigation and sequence analysis of HA/M protein gene of equine influenza virus (EIV) were carried out. Samples (n = 65) of the lung and nasal swab were collected in six different large-scale donkey farms and detected with RT ...

Cats are more susceptible to the prevalent H3 subtype influenza viruses than dogs [PDF]
Recent reports have highlighted the increasing frequency of influenza A virus (IAV) spillover events from other species to dogs and cats. IAV, particularly the H3 subtype, exhibits a broad host range and a propensity for interspecies transmission, as ...

Seroepidemiological Evidence of Subtype H3N8 Influenza Virus Infection among Pet Dogs in China
The H3N8 virus and the H3N2 virus are the main subtypes of canine influenza virus (CIV). H3N8 CIV mainly circulates in America, and H3N2 CIV mainly circulates in Asia. However, there was an outbreak of the Asian H3N2 virus in the United States (US) in 2015. Thus, it is important to evaluate the presence of subtype H3N8 virus in dogs in China.

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

Novel Zoonotic Avian Influenza A(H3N8) Virus in Chicken, Hong Kong, China
Zoonotic and pandemic influenza continue to pose threats to global public health. Pandemics arise when novel influenza A viruses, derived in whole or in part from animal or avian influenza viruses, adapt to transmit efficiently in a human population ...

Molecular epidemiology of equine influenza virus subtype H3N8 in Croatia (1968-2021)
Equine influenza (EI) is one of the most important viral diseases of horses. The first equine influenza virus (EIV) subtype H7N7 was isolated in 1956. It was circulating worldwide until its disappear- ance in the 1980s. In contrast, EIV subtype H3N8, described in 1963, is still circulating in the horse population.

Diagnostic performance of the canine Influenza A Virus subtype H3N8 hemagglutination inhibition assay [PDF]
Canine Influenza A virus subtype H3N8 (H3N8 CIV) was recognized in 2004 as a novel respiratory pathogen for dogs. To date, infections have been diagnosed in thousands of dogs in 38 U.S. states. Diagnostic techniques such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and virus isolation may yield false-negative results if samples are ...

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