Background Despite the significant disease burden of the influenza virus in humans, our
understanding of the basis for its pronounced seasonality remains incomplete. Past …

The isolation of influenza virus 80 years ago in 1933 very quickly led to the development of
the first generation of live-attenuated vaccines. The first inactivated influenza vaccine was …

Human influenza infections exhibit a strong seasonal cycle in temperate regions. Recent
laboratory and epidemiological evidence suggests that low specific humidity conditions …
