Pandemic potential of emerging influenza
The Lancet Infectious Diseases
snip
Influenza viruses are some of the most dynamic pathogens, and their changeable nature makes them fascinating subjects for research. A key question for people investigating and tracking the emergence and spread of new viruses will be whether we can predict pathogenicity and pandemic potential—and importantly, which novel strains combine both. Modern surveillance, typing, and sequencing technologies provide unprecedented opportunities to identify new strains among the first few human cases. We must be careful not to overstate the pandemic potential of novel strains but we should also embrace insights into pandemic potential that they afford.
