Q223R mutation greatly enhanced infectivity of HA-pseudotypes in human cells
I notice a lot of the egg passages results in Q223 mutations.
I often wondered if they happen very frequently without eggs?

25(OH)D levels increased in the active vitamin D group from a mean
of 64.3 ± 25.4 nmol/L to 88.5 ± 23.2 nmol/L.
did not show that vitamin D3 supplementation changed circulating cytokine
levels among healthy adults.

H3N2 : 4 low reactors at GISAID, (out of ~150), no specific mutations,
no specific strain

Mexico sequence from March,11 at GISAID, apparently pre-Cancun

Mexico's first known swine flu case was a six-month-old baby girl in a
northern part of the country who had no known contact with pig farms,
"It's a six-month-old baby girl from San Luis Potosi who is alive" and first
showed symptoms of the new strain of the influenza A(H1N1) virus on
February 24, said Celia Alpuche of the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis
and Reference (INDRE) in Mexico City.
But studies carried out on a backlog of samples show that a first handful of
recorded cases appeared in March in central and northern Mexico, before any
showed up further south, said Alpuche.
"We have other positive samples in March from Baja California (northwest),
San Luis Potosi and Mexico City (center)," Alpuche said, referring to results
discovered around one month ago.
"It's complicated to say where it originated but the earlier samples are
not from rural areas, that's to say areas with farms (or) pigs," she added.

they may know it, but have an interest to keep it secret.
They presumably did check where those people -i.e. the baby -
may have got it from

H4N6 in mallards:
Fecal samples had significantly higher virus concentrations than oropharyngeal or
cloacal swabs and 6 month old ducks shed significantly more viral RNA than 3
month old ducks regardless of sample type. Use of a water source contaminated
by AIV infected mallards, was sufficient to transmit virus to naïve mallards,
which shed AIV at higher or similar levels as orally-inoculated ducks.

now try that for chicken viruses like H5N1 or H9N2
