Analysis of Viral Genetics for Estimating Diffusion of Influenza A H6N1
H6N1 influenza A is an avian virus but in 2013 infected a human in Taiwan. We studied the phylogeography of avian origin H6N1 viruses in the Influenza Research Database and the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data EpiFlu Database in order to characterize their recent evolutionary spread. Our results suggest that the H6N1 virus that infected a human in Taiwan is derived from a diver...
متن کاملData, disease and diplomacy: GISAID’s innovative contribution to global health
The international sharing of virus data is critical for protecting populations against lethal infectious disease outbreaks. Scientists must rapidly share information to assess the nature of the threat and develop new medical countermeasures. Governments need the data to trace the extent of the outbreak, initiate public health responses, and coordinate access to medicines and vaccines. Recent ou...
متن کاملOrigin and diversity of novel avian influenza A H7N9 viruses causing human infection: phylogenetic, structural, and coalescent analyses.
BACKGROUND On March 30, 2013, a novel avian influenza A H7N9 virus that infects human beings was identified. This virus had been detected in six provinces and municipal cities in China as of April 18, 2013. We correlated genomic sequences from avian influenza viruses with ecological information and did phylogenetic and coalescent analyses to extrapolate the potential origins of the virus and po...
متن کاملNovel Influenza A (H6N1) Virus That Infected a Person in Taiwan
Influenza A (H6N1) virus infection of domestic poultry and wild birds occurs worldwide (1-3), but there has been no report of a human A (H6N1) infection case before 2013. In May 2013, a 20-year-old female suffering from influenza-like symptoms and shortness of breath was admitted to a hospital in Taiwan, China. She was confirmed as being infected with a novel avian-originated influenza A (H6N1)...
متن کاملSubstitution rates of the internal genes in the novel avian H7N9 influenza virus.
TO THE EDITOR—As of 30 May 2013, the novel avian influenza A(H7N9) virus has caused 132 laboratory-confirmed infections, with 37 fatal cases [1]. As the temperature went up, the reported number of infections naturally declined, with only 3 cases reported in May 2013. As of 4 June 2013, 36 genome sequences of the novel H7N9 viruses have been deposited in the GISAID database (Global Initiative on...
