[h=1]Within-Host Evolution of Human Influenza Virus.[/h] Xue KS[SUP]1[/SUP], Moncla LH[SUP]2[/SUP], Bedford T[SUP]2[/SUP], Bloom JD[SUP]3[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] The rapid global evolution of influenza virus begins with mutations that arise de novo in individual infections, but little is known about how evolution occurs within hosts. We review recent progress in understanding how and why influenza viruses evolve within human hosts. Advances in deep sequencing make it possible to measure within-host genetic diversity in both acute and chronic influenza infections. Factors like antigenic selection, antiviral treatment, tissue specificity, spatial structure, and multiplicity of infection may affect how influenza viruses evolve within human hosts. Studies of within-host evolution can contribute to our understanding of the evolutionary and epidemiological factors that shape influenza virus's global evolution.
