Full genome characterization of human influenza A/H3N2 isolates from Asian countries reveals a rare amantadine resistance-conferring mutation and novel PB1-F2 polymorphisms

Influenza A viruses evolve at a high rate requiring continuous monitoring to maintain the efficacy of vaccines and antiviral drugs. We performed next generation sequencing analysis of 100 influenza A/H3N2 isolates collected in four Asian countries (Japan, Lebanon, Myanmar, and Vietnam) during 2012-2...
