Owing to rapid mutation, the evolution of the influenza virus occurs on a human timescale; rather than being forced to infer past evolutionary events, we can observe them in near real-time. While individuals develop long-lasting immunity to particular influenza strains after infection, antigenic mutations to the influenza virus genome result in proteins that are recognized to a lesser degree by the human immune system, leaving individuals susceptible to future infection.
This talk by Trevor Bedford, PhD, focuses on the process of antigenic innovation and the spread of novel virus strains. We use hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay data to assess viral evolution and predict effective vaccine strains.
