The naming convention for influenza viruses typically includes the type of virus (A, B, C, or D), the host species (if not human), the location of isolation, the strain number, and the year of isolation. For example, an influenza A virus might be named "A/California/07/2009," where "A" indicates the type, "California" is the location, "07" is the strain number, and "2009" is the year. In the case of subtype A viruses, the hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) protein subtypes are also included, such as "A/H1N1."

What does h3n mean?

H3N is part of the influenza virus naming convention, with "H" representing the hemagglutinin protein and "N" representing the neuraminidase protein found on the surface of the virus. H3N typically refers to a specific subtype of influenza A virus.


What would H1N1 be called if it came back even more advanced?

The influenza viruses are identified by and given names that correspond with the proteins on the capsid of the virus (outside coating of the virus). For example, the two proteins on the H1N1/09 virus are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase, therefore the virus is called H1N1.The name of any mutations of the H1N1/09 influenza virus, would follow this same naming convention and it would be called by the name that is descriptive of the particular proteins it has on the capsid after the mutation.See the related question below for more information on the naming of influenza viruses.
