''We conclude that despite considerable #genetic variances, all three contemporary swine-origin A(#H3N2) viruses displayed a capacity for robust #replication in the #ferret respiratory tract and were also capable of limited #airborne #transmission.''

''In addition, the #H3N6 CIV showed increased #mammalian #adaptation ability compared to all the #H3N2 strains in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Even though isolated 3 months later, the March 2019 isolated H3N2 viruses replicated more efficiently than the November 2018 isolated viruses. Our study indicated that H3 CIVs were undergoing an evolution process, through both genetic mutations and gene reassortment, at an incredible speed.''

#BreakingNews news is that two senior citizens in #pune have become victims of the #H3N2 #virus.
The last thing we need is another "wave" of #infections, which would "kill" the #indianeconomy, recovering from the earlier #covid induced #lockdown.
Not only would it impact #indians #physical #health, it would also send "us" into the #icu, in an literal sense and a figurative #economic way.

Sources in the central government said the rise in #H3N2 cases was normal. India has so far recorded six deaths due to respiratory viral infection.

Cases of DOG FLU erupt across US, worrying vets https://mol.im/a/11763521 via https://dailym.ai/android #dogflu #H3N2 #H3N8
Finally a vaccine effectiveness estimate for this season's #flu shot — from Canada. Canadian researchers estimated that this season, a flu shot halved the risk of infection that required medical care. With #H3N2, this year's dominant virus, that's actually very good. VE in H3-dominant years is often below 40% — it is typically the weakest link of flu shots. CDC hasn't yet released a flu vax VE estimate for this year, which puzzles me. The study is in Eurosurveillance.

With #influenza rampant in the U.S. (red line graph), this is a good time to mention that the N.American #vaccine strains in the shot are excellently matched to H1/H3 viruses circulating. Here in the U.S. the CDC reported flu cases are <1% FluB. For FluA (~99%) we have ~21% that are #H1N1 pdm09 clade related, and ~77% #H3N2 all of which are isotyped as exclusively being clade 3C.2a1b.2a.2.
