Abstract
Three influenza A viruses possessing hemagglutinin-Hav7 and neuraminidase-N2 were isolated from 20 wild free-flying ducks in Hokkaido, Japan in autumn, 1977. The neuraminidase antigen of these viruses cross-reacted with the Asian influenza virus (H2 N2) but reacted scarecely with the Hong Kong strain (H3 N2) in cross neuraminidase-inhibition tests.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
