Influenza A virus subtype H10N3 is a subtype of viruses that causes influenza (flu). It is mostly present in wild avian species. The first human case was reported in 2021.
In animals
Only around 160 cases of the virus have been reported in the 40 years before 2018, mostly in various waterfowl or wild birds.[1] Existing studies show that H10 influenza viruses are present in a wide range of domestic and wild avian species, as well as in mammals, showing potential for adaptation.[2] H10N3 has been isolated across a wide geographic distribution, including in species such as domestic poultry (chickens),[2] ducks,[3][4] other waterfowl, and terrestrial birds.[5] In animals, the viruses display a complex pathology, with complex reassortments and mutations contributing to pathobiology patterns in chickens, ducks and mice indicative of a possible threat to humans,[6] although H10N3 is usually a less severe strain and is unlikely to cause a significant outbreak.[1]
In humans
The first human case was reported in Zhenjiang, in China's eastern province of Jiangsu,[1] in a patient admitted to the hospital with symptoms in April 2021, with a diagnosis of H10N3 confirmed in May 2021. According to China's National Health Commission (NHC), human transmission of H10N3 has not been reported elsewhere in China.[7] There are no indications that the virus is easily transmissible among humans,[1] although other types of avian-origin H10 influenza have been able to infect human beings, including in Australia and China, highlighting a potential public health hazard.[2]
