21 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Since its emergence in March 2009, the pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus has posed a serious threat to public health. To trace the evolutionary path of these new pathogens, we performed a selection-pressure analysis of a large number of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) gene sequences of H1N1 influenza viruses from different hosts. RESULTS: Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both HA and NA...
