While we’ve heard very little over the past two months regarding the small number H3N3v (formerly called trH3N2) cases detected last fall across five states, the CDC continues update their guidance information, and has taken steps towards developing a seed vaccine.
This novel swine-origin virus is a reassortant between swine H3N2 and the 2009 H1N1 virus, and while it does not appear to be transmitting efficiently, some human-to-human transmission is suspected.
A sampling of earlier blogs on this emerging virus include:
