N2 - Equine influenza virus strains of Florida sublineage clade 1 (Fc1) have been circulating in North America. In this study, virus neutralization assays were performed to evaluate antigenic differences between Fc1 vaccine strains and North American Fc1 strains isolated in 2021–2022, using equine antisera against A/equine/South Africa/4/2003 (a vaccine strain recommended by the World Organisation for Animal Health) and A/equine/Ibaraki/1/2007 (a Japanese vaccine strain). Antibody titers against four North American Fc1 strains isolated in 2021–2022 were comparable to those against the homologous vaccine strains. These results suggest that current Fc1 vaccine strains are effective against North American strains from 2021–2022.
