Development and Qualification of a Pseudotyped Virus‐Based Microneutralisation Assay for Influenza D Virus

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Epidemiological surveillance of influenza D virus (IDV) has gained increased priority following recent serological findings indicating its potential zoonosis in humans. In this context, it is crucial to develop strong, reproducible, reliable and scalable immunological assays that can be quickly implemented in the surveillance of new
