''Phylogenetic analyses showed that it was a sextuple‐#reassortant virus of #H11N9, #H3N8, #H3N6, #H7N9, #H9N2, and #H6N8 viruses present in #China, similar to the H11N9 strains in #Japan and #Korea during the same period. ''

''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.''
