Overall, the major genetic variations that occurred in seasonal A(H1) viruses either affected receptor binding or altered epitopes at the immunodominant sites. These genetic variations in seasonal A(H1N1) isolated in Kenya during 2007-2008 highlight the importance of continuing surveillance and characterization of emerging drift variants of influenza virus in Africa.
