PCR and microarray-based assay with same day turnaround time, developed to subtype …

Influenza B viruses were predominant in Taiwan during the 2004–2005 epidemic and both
Victoria and Yamagata lineage viruses co-circulated. A reassortant influenza B virus that …

Influenza B virus primarily infects humans, causing seasonal epidemics globally. Two
antigenic variants—Victoria-like and Yamagata-like—were detected in the 1980s, of which …

After 2 minor winter seasons, influenza B viruses were predominantly isolated in the
Province of Quebec, Canada, during the 2000–2001 season representing 74% of laboratory …

Influenza B virus causes significant disease but remains understudied in tropical regions.
We sequenced 72 influenza B viruses collected in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 1995 to …

Forty-nine influenza B virus isolates collected in Belgium, Finland, Spain, and Israel during
the 2001-2002 winter season were categorized into either of two lineages …
