Abstract:Background
Influenza constitutes a contagious viral infection primarily attributed to influenza viruses A or B, predominantly affecting the upper respiratory system.

Conversely, influenza type B lacks subtypes owing to fixed, albeit small, antigenic variabilities. Given the swift evolution and diversification, comprehendinggenomic epidemiol… Show more
