Seroepidemiology of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus infections in Pune, India

BACKGROUND In India, Pune was one of the badly affected cities during the influenza A (H1N1) 2009 pandemic. We undertook serosurveys among the risk groups and general population to determine the extent of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus infections. METHODS Pre-pandemic sera from the archives, collected during January 2005 to March 2009, were assayed for the determination of baseline se...
