Summary

The cRNA:vRNA hybridization technique was used to analyse H3N2 influenza virus isolates obtained from influenza patients in the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. (Alaska) during the epidemic season of 1982–1983. The majority of isolates differed from reference H3N2 influenza virus strains A/Bangkok/1/79 and A/Philippines/2/82 as well as from one another in the homology of nearly all the genes. No identical strains were detected among the isolates including the ones isolated in the same town and at the same time.
