2019-10-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Influenza B viruses have two genetically and antigenically distinct lineages, B/Victoria/2/1987-like (VIC) and B/Yamagata/16/1988-like (YAM) viruses, that emerged in the 1980s and co-circulate annually during the influenza season. During the 2016-2017 influenza season, influenza B/VIC lineage variant viruses emerged with two (K 162 N 163 ) or three (K 162 N 163 D 164 ) amino acid (AA) delet...
