Evolution of the M gene of the influenza A virus in different host species: large-scale sequence analysis
29 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Influenza A virus infects not only humans, but also other species including avian and swine. If a novel influenza A subtype acquires the ability to spread between humans efficiently, it could cause the next pandemic. Therefore it is necessary to understand the evolutionary processes of influenza A viruses in various hosts in order to gain better knowledge about the emergence of pandemic virus. The...
