A Molecular Picture of Seasonal Influenza

摘要：

Seasonal influenza claims 250,000 to 500,000 lives every year and causes 3-5 million cases of severe illness world-wide. As part of international surveillance efforts, extensive epidemiological data on influenza have been collected for over 50 years. In addition, many thousands of clinical isolates of the influenza virus have been sequenced for these surveillance efforts and as part of research initiatives like the NIAID Influenza genome sequencing project. I will provide a brief review of the epidemiology and evolution of Type A Influenza virus and present some analyses that integrate these data in an effort to develop a molecular picture of seasonal influenza.
