In-vitro characterization of 2019-24 Influenza B Viruses reveals increased temperature-dependent fitness in later timepoints independent of antigenic drift
Seasonal influenza viruses continually acquire mutations that can alter both their replication efficiency and antigenic properties. While recent seasonal Influenza B viruses (IBV) are characterized as...
