| description | A recently emerged novel influenza A (H1N1) virus continues to spread globally. The pandemic caused
by this new H1N1 swine influenza virus presents an opportunity to analyze the evolutionary signif-
icance of the origin of the new strain of swine flu. Our study clearly suggests that strong purifying
selection is responsible for the evolution of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus among human. We
observed that the 2009 viral sequences are evolutionarily widely different from the past few years’
sequences. Rather, the 2009 sequences are evolutionarily more similar to the most ancient sequence
reported in the NCBI Influenza Virus Resource Database collected in 1918. Analysis of evolutionary
rates also supports the view that all the genes in the pandemic strain of 2009 except NA and M genes
are derived from triple reassorted swine viruses. Our study demonstrates the importance of using
complete-genome approach as more sequences will become available to investigate the evolutionary
origin of the 1918 influenza A (H1N1) swine flu strain and the possibility of future reassortment
events. |
