Emergence of new phylogenetic lineage of Influenza D virus with broad antigenicity in California, United States

Emerg Microbes Infect. 2021 Dec;10(1):739-742. doi: 10.1080/22221751.2021.1910078.

Abstract

Influenza D virus (IDV), with bovines as a primary host, circulates widely in cattle populations across North America and Eurasia. Here we report the identification of a novel IDV group with broad antigenicity in U.S. bovine herds, which is genetically different from previously known lineages of IDV.

Keywords: Influenza D; antigenicity; genetic lineage; hemagglutinin-esterase fusion; variation.
