Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of Postpandemic Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Virus Isolates from India

Genome Announc. 2013 Sep 19;1(5):e00727-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00727-13.

Abstract

The pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus was first detected in India in May 2009 and continued to circulate in the postpandemic period. Whole-genome sequence analysis of postpandemic A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses showed the circulation of clade 6 and clade 7 viruses. The hemagglutinin (HA) gene showed increased diversity compared with that in the pandemic phase.
