Influenza B virus victoria group with a new glycosylation site was epidemic in Japan in the 2002-2003 season.


ABSTRACT: In the 2002-2003 season, influenza B virus Victoria strains were epidemic after a 6-year absence in Kobe City, Japan. They reacted poorly to the immune ferret sera prepared for use against the previous strain. An amino acid substitution in the HA1 region caused them to acquire an N-linked glycosylation site.
