Seroprotective Antibodies to 2011 Variant Influenza A(H3N2v) and Seasonal Influenza A(H3N2) among Three Age Groups of US Department of Defense Service Members
2015
Background
In 2011, a new variant of influenza A(H3N2) emerged that contained a recombination of genes from swine H3N2 viruses and the matrix (M) gene of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. New combinations and variants of pre-existing influenza viruses are worrisome if there is low or nonexistent immunity in a population, which increases chances for an outbreak or pandemic.
