“…In 2007, an avian-origin H3N2 CIV was first isolated in Korea ( Song et al, 2008 ), which could be traced back to 2006 in China ( Li et al, 2010 ). Since then, H3N2 CIVs have spread globally and circulated in Korea, China, Thailand, the United States, and Canada ( Su et al, 2013 ; Bunpapong et al, 2014 ; Lee et al, 2016 ; Voorhees et al, 2018 ; Xu et al, 2020 ). Besides H3N2 and H3N8 CIVs, dogs were also reported to be infected with H5N1, H9N2, H6N1, and recombinant H5N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) ( Songserm et al, 2006 ; Zhan et al, 2012 ; Sun et al, 2013 ; Lin et al, 2015 ), H1N1 swine influenza viruses (SIV) ( Chen et al, 2018 ), H3N2 IAVs ( Chen et al, 2015 ), and 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus (pdm/09) ( Dundon et al, 2010 ; Su et al, 2014 ).…”
