Rhiza Labs FluTracker Forum

In addition to the Ukraine sequences, Mill Hill released at GISAID a series of sequences from Europe including 18 from Moldova. Although many had D225E, one sequence, A/Moldova/G-152/2009, had D225G and D225N (mixed signals at position 1 and 2 of codon 225).

This was on a "Norway" background, which was also seen for A/Chernihiv/452/2009 and five other Moldova sequences.

Any indication of mortality on that data?

Sample collected Oct 23, but no more info.
