5 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
In 2005, triple-reassortant H3N2 (trH3N2) influenza A viruses were isolated from swine and turkeys in Canada. Subsequently, these viruses were isolated from humans and mink in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Following full genome sequencing, H3N2 viruses isolated from turkeys (2005), quail (2008) and swine (2009) in Canada, were characterized as trH3N2. The 2005 turkey isolate was found to be almost identical to...
