Abstract

Bovine influenza virus was first identified in the USA in 2013, and the virus represents a potential novel type of influenza viruses. However, the distribution and evolution of the virus remain unknown. We conducted a pilot survey of bovine influenza virus in China, and identified three bovine influenza viruses which are highly homogenous to the ones identified in the USA, suggesting that the bovine influenza virus likely circulates widely and evolves slowly in the world.
