Correlation of Influenza Virus Excess Mortality with Antigenic Variation: Application to Rapid Estimation of Influenza Mortality Burden

article image

Wu et al. take a new approach to early assessment of an influenza outbreak. Establishing a quantitative relationship between the antigenic variation of the virus and its mortality burden, they propose a method to rapidly and more accurately assess the impact on human health.
