Gene variability of all influenza A virus strains (H3N2) isolated in the G.D.R. during the epidemic seasons of 1970-1978 was investigated by cRNA:vRNA hybridization. From 1970 through 1975 a gradual smooth variability of the majority of genes and moderate heterogeneity in gene homology of the isolates were observed. From 1975 through 1977 the genome variability was more profound and the isolates differed from one another in gene homology. In 1978 the variability became less pronounced again. Quantitative evaluation of the variability for individual genes gave the following results: 0.4% nucleotides per year for genes, 1, 2, 3 (P proteins), 1.4% for gene 4 (HA), 0.1% for gene 5 (NP), 1.0% for gene 6 (NA), 0.1% for gene 7 (M) and 0.4 for gene 8 (NS).

D007251 Influenza, Human An acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the NASAL MUCOSA; the PHARYNX; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
