Background

Influenza is an acute respiratory disease in mammals and domestic poultry that emerges from zoonotic reservoirs in aquatic birds and bats. Influenza viruses are enveloped negative-sense, single-stranded, fragmented RNA viruses that belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family. Influenza A and B cause annual epidemics and occasional pandemics of respiratory tract infections with a broad spectrum of disease severity ranging from asymptomatic to death. Influenza A viruses are subtyped on the bases of two surface glycoproteins: haemagglutinin (HA, H-number) and neuraminidase (NA, N-number). Influenza A viruses H1N1 and H3N2 currently cause most of the Influenza A epidemic diseases in humans according to WHO. Due to low-fidelity RNA polymerase proofreading capabilities, Influenza viruses have high mutation rate and are in a constant state of evolution. Influenza nucleoproteins (NP) that coat viral RNA are more conserved compared to surface proteins like HA and NA and are therefore the most common targets of commercially available influenza diagnostics.
