Background A new era of flu surveillance has already started based on the genetic
characterization and exploration of influenza virus evolution at whole-genome scale …

Seasonal influenza epidemics are associated with high mortality and morbidity in the human
population. Influenza surveillance is critical for providing information to national influenza …

RNA viruses rapidly mutate, which can result in increased virulence, increased escape from
vaccine protection, and false-negative detection results. Targeted detection methods have a …

Genetic characterisation of circulating influenza viruses directs annual vaccine strain
selection and mitigation of infection spread. We used next-generation sequencing to locally …

This study aimed to analyze the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of the influenza
A/H3N2 viruses circulating in Myanmar from 2015 to 2019. Whole genomes from 79 virus …

Background The severity of an influenza infection is influenced by both host and viral
characteristics. This study aims to assess the relevance of viral genomic data for the …

After disruption in the influenza circulation due to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the
intensity of seasonal outbreaks has returned to the pre-pandemic levels. This study aimed to …

Introduction Influenza A viruses cause global health concerns due to their high amino acid
substitution rates. They are linked to yearly seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics …

ABSTRACT Influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus has remained in a seasonal circulation since
being recognized in 2009. Although it followed a mild course in most patients, in others it …

The genomic epidemiology of influenza B virus (IBV) remains understudied in Africa despite
significance to design of effective local and global control strategies. We undertook …
