Antigenic and Genetic Characteristics of Swine-Origin 2009 A(H1N1) Influenza Viruses Circulating in Humans

Rebecca Garten, +62 more
- 10 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: The lack of similarity between the 2009 A(H1N1) virus and its nearest relatives indicates that its gene segments have been circulating undetected for an extended period as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping the Antigenic and Genetic Evolution of Influenza Virus

TL;DR: The antigenic evolution of influenza A (H3N2) virus was quantified and visualized from its introduction into humans in 1968 to 2003 and offers a route to predicting the relative success of emerging strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a Novel Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin Subtype (H16) Obtained from Black-Headed Gulls

TL;DR: A previously unidentified antigenic subtype of HA (H16), detected in viruses circulating in black-headed gulls in Sweden, is described and proposed that sequence analyses of HA and NA genes of influenza A viruses be used for the rapid identification of existing and novel HA andNA subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Airborne transmission of influenza A/H5N1 virus between ferrets

TL;DR: Avian A/H5N1 influenza viruses can acquire the capacity for airborne transmission between mammals without recombination in an intermediate host and therefore constitute a risk for human pandemic influenza.
Proceedings Article

A study of permutation crossover operators on the traveling salesman problem

TL;DR: In this paper, three permutation crossovers are analyzed to characterize how they sample the o-schema space, and hence what type of problems they may be applicable to.
