Plain-English summary
A group of dogs was exposed to an avian-origin influenza virus (H3N2) after coming into contact with an infected dog that had serious breathing problems. The dogs that were exposed developed high fevers and showed signs of respiratory illness, including severe inflammation in their airways. Unfortunately, the study did not provide information on treatment or recovery outcomes for these dogs.

Abstract
Susceptible dogs were brought into contact with dogs experimentally infected with an avian-origin influenza A virus (H3N2) that had been isolated from a pet dog with severe respiratory syndrome. All the experimentally infected and contact-exposed dogs showed elevated rectal temperatures, virus shedding, seroconversion, and severe necrotizing tracheobronchitis and bronchioalveolitis.
