Avian-origin H3N2 canine influenza A viruses in Southern China

Infect Genet Evol. 2010 Dec;10(8):1286-8. doi: 10.1016/j.meegid.2010.08.010. Epub 2010 Aug 21.

Abstract

This study reports four sporadic cases of H3N2 canine influenza in Southern China, which were identified from sick dogs from May 2006 to October 2007. The evolutionary analysis showed that all eight segments of these four viruses are avian-origin and phylogenetically close to the H3N2 canine influenza viruses reported earlier in South Korea. Systematic surveillance is required to monitor the disease and evolutionary behavior of this virus in canine populations in China.
