Abstract excerpt
To examine the molecular epidemiology of influenza virus transmission, the nucleotide sequences of the HA1 domain of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of 57 influenza A and 24 influenza B viruses recovered in a single season were analyzed. No nucleotide sequence differences were found among the 10 viruses that were recovered twice from the same patient. The nucleotide sequences of influenza A viruses were identical...
