Influenza D Virus of New Phylogenetic Lineage, Japan

Emerg Infect Dis. 2020 Jan;26(1):168-171. doi: 10.3201/eid2601.191092.

Abstract

Influenza D virus (IDV) can potentially cause respiratory diseases in livestock. We isolated a new IDV strain from diseased cattle in Japan; this strain is phylogenetically and antigenically distinguished from the previously described IDVs.

Keywords: Japan; bovine; heterologous; influenza; influenza D virus; lineage; respiratory infections; viruses.
