An oligonucleotide microarray for influenza A hemagglutinine subtyping was presented. The number of probes for determination of each subtype hemagglutinine (H1-H13, H15, H16, pandemic flu H1N1)varied from 13 to 28. When testing of the microarray using 40 type A influenza virus isolates the hemagglutinin subtypes were unambiguously determined for 36 specimens.

Since late 2021, a panzootic of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus has driven significant morbidity and mortality in wild birds, domestic poultry, and mammals. In North America, infections in novel avian and mammalian species suggest the potential for changing ecology and establishment of new animal reservoirs. Outbreaks among domestic birds have persisted despite aggressive culling, necessitating a re-examination of how these outbreaks were sparked and maintained.

The I38T substitution in the influenza virus polymerase-acidic (PA) subunit is a resistance marker of concern for treatment with the antiviral baloxavir marboxil (BXM). Thus, monitoring PA/I38T mutations is of clinical importance. Here, we developed three rapid and sensitive assays for the detection and monitoring of the PA/I38T mutation.
