Abstract excerpt
In 2011, we developed a real-time RT-PCR method to rapidly and sensitively detect three subtypes of influenza A virus [H1N1, H3N2, and influenza (H1N1) 2009] and influenza B virus (the conventional PCR method). This method was useful during the 2011-2012 epidemic season. However, epidemic influenza A virus strain H3N2 in the 2012-2013 season was undetectable by this method, possibly due to mutation in the...
