- Abstract
This article discusses a study conducted to investigate whether influenza B viruses had continued to circulate in seals in Netherlands. The researchers collected samples for influenza B virus-specific antibodies with a previously described hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. They learned that influenza B viruses continue to infect seals and support the notion that seals could serve as a reservoir.
