Local Spread of Influenza A (H1N1) Viruses Without A Mutation For The Maximum Duration of An Epidemic Season In Japan
Keyword(s):
Abstract Close observation of the local transmission of influenza A(H1N1) viruses enabled an estimation of the transmission period of the virus without a mutation. Of 4,448 isolates from 11 consecutive years, 237 isolates could be categorized into 57 strain groups with identical hemagglutinin genes. Transmission of these 57 strains was chased for the maximum duration of an epidemic season. In addition, 35 identical strains were recognized at the study site and other countries within 147 days. Consequently, it can be postulated that once an influenza virus enters a temperate country, the strain rarely mutates until the end of the season.
