Evolution, Adaptation and Spread of Influenza Viruses: What Have We Learned? Nancy J. Cox, Ph. D. Chief, Influenza Branch National Center for Infectious Diseases Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Influenza Historical Background • Epidemics of influenza have occurred in humans since ancient times – recorded by Hippocrates in 412 BC • “Influenza” – term dates from 15 th century Italy when epidemics were attributed to the influence of the stars • First pandemic clearly described in 1580
Background, continued • Influenza A virus isolated in ferrets in 1933 by Smith et al. • Virus first grown in embryonated eggs in 1936 • Antigenic differences detected between viruses in 1937 • Influenza B virus isolated in 1940 by Francis and Mc. Gill (independently) • Inactivated influenza vaccine found to be effective in 1944 (U. S. military)
Influenza Viruses • Enveloped RNA viruses, 80 -100 nm in diameter • 8 single-stranded negative sense gene segments encoding 10 proteins • Aerosol and droplet transmission • Incubation period 1 -4 days • Viral shedding • Adults <5 days • Young children up to 10 -14 days • Two virus types: A and B, based on NP and M 1 • Three A subtypes: H 1 N 1, H 1 N 2 & H 3 N 2, based on spike-like surface glyproteins
Periods of Observed Circulation/Detection of Human Influenza A Viruses H 9 H 5 H 3 H 2 H 1 1918 H 1 1957 1968 1977 1999
Influenza
Antigenic Change • Antigenic ‘drift” occurs in HA and NA • Associated with seasonal epidemics • Continual development of new strains secondary to genetic mutations • A viruses >> B viruses • Antigenic “shift” occurs in HA and NA • Associated with pandemics • Appearance of novel influenza A viruses bearing new HA or HA & NA
Infection and Disease • Highest infection & disease rates in children • Highest rates of serious complications in elderly and persons with certain underlying chronic conditions, e. g. : • Cardiopulmonary disease • Metabolic disease (e. g. diabetes) • Immune deficiency
Influenza Viruses Infect Several Animal Species • All influenza A subtypes found in wild birds • Fecal transmission among wild birds • Usually no illness • Other animal species • Domestic poultry (chickens and quail) • Humans, swine, horses, seals, whales • Humans usually infected by human influenza viruses

Pandemics and Pandemic “Scares”of the 20 th Century • • 1918 -19 “Spanish flu” 1957 “Asian flu” 1968 “Hong Kong flu” 1976 “swine flu” episode 1977 “Russian flu” 1997 “Bird flu” in HK 1999 “Bird flu” in HK H 1 N 1 H 2 N 2 H 3 N 2 H 1 N 1 H 5 N 1 H 9 N 2
1918 -19 Pandemic • • • Scattered outbreaks in U. S. in spring Relatively low activity in summer Peak of first wave in October Peak of second wave in mid-winter U. S. ~550, 000 deaths • nearly 1/2 in persons 20 -40 years old • Worldwide ~ 40 million deaths
1957 -58 and 1968 -69 Pandemics • 1957 • Emergence of influenza A (H 2 N 2) virus • 66, 000 U. S. deaths • 36% of deaths (24, 000) in persons <65 years • 1968 • Emergence of influenza A (H 3 N 2) virus • 28, 100 U. S. deaths • 41% of deaths (11, 600) in persons <65 years
The Next Pandemic • Another pandemic is expected. • According to our CDC model, the projected health impact in the U. S. is: • 89, 000 – 207, 000 …. . deaths • 314, 000 – 734, 000. . …hospitalizations • 18 million – 42 million…clinic visits
Grand Challenge of Modeling: Spread of an Influenza Pandemic • • • Susceptibility of the population Person-to-person spread Mixing of global populations Traffic patterns, especially global travel Would we have time to produce vaccine and to ramp up production of antiviral drugs?
Average Annual Impact of Influenza on U. S. • >20, 000 deaths • >110, 000 hospitalizations • Currently >90% deaths in persons >65 years • Higher numbers of deaths and hospitalizations in A(H 3 N 2) years

WHO Recommendations for Vaccine Strains Formal recommendations for strains to be included in the currently licensed inactivated influenza vaccine are made each year during February for the following influenza season in the Northern Hemisphere and in September (since 1998) for the following season in the Southern Hemisphere.
Considerations for Recommendations • Are there new antigenic variants (HI and gene sequencing data)? • Are new variants spreading and causing disease? • Are current vaccines able to induce antibodies to the new variants? • Are any new variants useful for vaccine production?
Why Sequence HA Genes? • Sequence analysis provides information on the molecular basis for antigenic drift. – – – Rates of change at nucleotide/amino acid levels Types of amino acid changes Positions of amino acid changes Predictability in patterns of change Molecular correlates with epidemiology • Sequence analysis provides precise data on evolutionary relationships between HA genes of Influenza viruses. • Sequence data provide adjunct to HI data for vaccine strain selection.
What Viruses are Sequenced? • Variant viruses (HI test) • Typical viruses (HI test) • Geographic distribution (emphasis on viruses from Asia) • Temporal distribution S. Hemisphere N. Hemisphere

Conclusions from Prediction Attempts • We identified 18 codons in HA 1 that are positively selected; sites A, B and RBP • Strains with more mutations in these codons = progenitors of successful new lineages – retrospective testing • Alternate hypotheses less successful in predicting • Monitoring change in + selected codons may predict course of evolution and be useful for vaccine strain selection

Approach Ø Generate transfectant viruses with the Joh/HA containing – single mutations alone • G 135 T • N 145 K • N 262 S and – combinations of double mutations • G 135 T/ N 145 K • G 135 T/ N 262 S • N 145 K/ N 262 S Ø Determine antigenicity of each mutant virus using postinfection ferret sera in an HI assay

Summary of Reverse Genetics Experiments Ø The presence of each mutation alone was insufficient to recreate the antigenic difference observed between Johannesburg/33/94 and Nanchang/933/95 -like viruses. Ø But, the combination of mutations G 135 T and N 145 K in site A of the Joh 94 HA were sufficient to re-create this example of antigenic drift in the H 3 HA. Ø Reverse genetics techniques allowed us to identify contribution of specific aa residues to antigenic drift in the H 3 HA. Look at other examples and at contributions of 18 codons.

Conclusions Influenza B/Victoria/2/87 lineage viruses have reemerged in North America and Europe after a 10 year absence. Reassortment has occurred between 2 lineages of B viruses. Genetic reassortants bearing a B/Shandong/7/94 -like HA and B/Sichuan/379/99 -like NA were identified – vaccine choices. A B/Victoria lineage virus has been recommended for vaccines. Children under 10 expected to be most susceptible.
Questions About B Viruses • Why did B/Vic lineage viruses survive only in China after B/Yamagata lineage viruses spread in the late 1980 s? • Why are B/Vic lineage viruses spreading to North America, Europe and Australia now after a 10 year absence? • Will both lineages of influenza B viruses continue to circulate?
Other Key Questions • Can we explain the seasonality of influenza? • Why do so many epidemic variants appear first in China? • Is there real spread or only apparent spread of epidemic variants? • Is it possible to predict the next antigenic variant?
