Abstract excerpt
The nucleoprotein (NP) gene of influenza A viruses is decisive for separating two large individually evolving reservoirs in birds and humans. A phylogenetic analysis of the NP gene revealed that all mammalian influenza viruses originated--directly or indirectly--from an avian ancestor. The stable...
