:''See Influenza for details about the illnesses and Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and Influenza A virus subtype H3N2 for details about the causative agents.'' Fujian flu refers to flu caused by either a Fujian human flu strain of the H3N2 subtype of the ''Influenza A virus'' or a Fujian bird flu strain of the H5N1 subtype of the ''Influenza A virus''. These strains are named after Fujian, a coastal province of the People's Republic of China.〔Fujian also borders the north of China's Guangdong province, where Hong Kong is. Hong Kong is important in the early history of H5N1.〕 A/Fujian (H3N2) human flu (from A/Fujian/411/2002(H3N2) -like flu virus strains) caused an unusually severe 2003–2004 flu season. This was due to a reassortment event that caused a minor clade to provide a haemagglutinin gene that later became part of the dominant strain in the 2002–2003 flu season. A/Fujian (H3N2) was made part of the trivalent influenza vaccine for the 2004-2005 flu season and its descendants are still the most common human H3N2 strain. A/Fujian (H5N1) bird flu is notable for its resistance to standard medical countermeasures and its rapid spread. This variant of the H5N1 virus also illustrates the continuing evolution of the H5N1 virus, and its emergence has caused political controversy. ==Terminology== Phrases used to identify the flu or the causative agent include "Fujian-like"〔(Infection Control Today ) article ''Control Measures Fail to Stop Spread of New H5N1 Virus'' Published 31 October 2006〕 and "Fujian virus"〔(Medical News Today ) article ''H5N1 Bird Flu Virus Is Changing, FAO And OIE Recommend Increased Surveillance When Vaccinating'' published 10 November 2006〕 for the H5N1 version and "Fujian-like"〔(Hot topic - Fujian-like strain A influenza )〕 for the H3N2 version. Both are also sometimes specified as "Type A Fujian flu" or "A/Fujian flu" referring to the species ''Influenza A virus''. Both are also sometimes specified according to their species subtype: "Fujian Flu (H3N2)" or "Fujian Flu (H5N1)". Or both, example: "A-Fujian-H3N2". "A/Fujian/411/2002-like (H3N2)" and "Influenza A/Fujian/411/02(H3N2)-lineage viruses" are examples of using the full name of the virus strains. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fujian flu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
