Evidence in Kenya of Reassortment Between Seasonal Influenza A(H3N2) and Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 to yield A(H3N2) Variants With the Matrix Gene Segment of A(H1N1)pdm0.

Influenza viruses evolve rapidly and undergo frequent reassortment of different gene segments leading to emergence of novel strains with new traits possessing pandemic potential.
Objectives: To determine evidence of reassortment amongst A(H1N1)pdm09 and H3N2 co-circulating influenza virus subtypes and relate these to adamantine antiviral resistanc.
