Abstract:BackgroundDuring the 2019 severe influenza season, New South Wales (NSW) experienced the highest number of cases in Australia. This study retrospectively investigated the genetic characteristics of influenza viruses circulating in NSW in 2019 and identified genetic markers related to antiviral resistance and potential virulence.MethodsThe complete genomes of influenza A and B viruses were amplified using reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced with an Illumina MiSeq platform.Results… Show more
