Resende PC, Born PS, Matos AR, et al. Whole-Genome Characterization of a Novel Human Influenza A(H1N2) Virus Variant, Brazil. Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2017;23(1):152-154. doi:10.3201/eid2301.161122.
Abstract
We report the characterization of a novel reassortant influenza A(H1N2) virus not previously reported in humans. Recovered from a a pig farm worker in southeast Brazil who had influenza-like illness, this virus is a triple reassortant containing gene segments from subtypes H1N2 (hemagglutinin), H3N2 (neuraminidase), and pandemic H1N1 (remaining genes).
Keywords: influenza A virus, viruses, influenza, H1N2v, subtypes, whole-genome characterization, reassortment, Brazil
