Abstract excerpt
The data from the literature concerning the limited number of influenza A virus variants pathogenic for man are analysed. The possibilities of employing these theoretical concepts for improvement of the methods for virus investigations and epidemiological prognosing of epidemics, as well as the possibilities of creating a species-specific preparation for influenza A prevention are discussed.
