Influenza virus infections are a serious health problem. Eachyear, about 500 million people are infected by the virus, resultingin about 500,000 deaths worldwide. The occurrence of new influenzasubtypes has caused severe pandemics, including the 2009 swine flu(vH1N1). In addition, highly pathogenic viruses, like subtypes H7N7and H5N1, also called the fowl plague and bird flu, respectively,represent enormous economic threats to livestock farming. This bookbegins with descriptions of the molecular make-up of influenzaviruses, their replication cycles and functions of viral proteins.A history of major influenza pandemics is provided as is a detailedarticle discussing how viral growth and decay is mathematicallymodeled to evaluate the biological parameters governing interactionbetween host and virus. Several laboratory protocols describe howinfluenza virus is handled and used in animal models to studyhost-pathogen interactions and test potential new therapies. This e-book — a curated collection from eLS, WIREs, andCurrent Protocols — offers a fantastic introduction to thefield of influenza research for students or interdisciplinarycollaborators.
