Resumen
Influenza canina causada por H3N8 fue descrita en 2004 en los Estados Unidos en Greyhounds. El
agente etiológico es un mutante del virus de la influenza equina, H3N8. Posteriormente se describieron
casos de influenza canina en Corea del Sur y China causados por un virus H3N2 de origen aviar; este
virus causó brotes severos en Miami en el 2015. Las infecciones con influenza virus H3 en perros
pueden ser subclínicas, con cuadros clínicos moderados o bien pueden evolucionar con cuadros severos
de neumonía hemorrágica. El objetivo del presente reporte es describir la presentación de casos de
influenza canina en Costa Rica en el período comprendido entre el 2012 y el 2016.
