Abstract

Influenza B virus (IBV) undergoes continuous genetic mutations that can affect vaccine effectiveness and immune evasion. Although considerable research on IBV epidemiology exists globally, understanding of its genetic behavior in Saudi Arabia remains limited. This study characterized the molecular epidemiology of IBV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the 2024-2025 influenza season and evaluated compatibility with the current vaccine strain.
