There are many candidate polymorphisms already in human sequences which originate in swine. S165N traces back to the Hudson county fair in Ohio in 2007. It is in multiple 2011 isolates in the US as well as several isolates in Spain. Recombination allows this change, which is not far from changes at positions 156-159 which produce low reactors, to be palced on an S188T background. Similarly, a sequence from Kentucky had S188T, G158E, and D225G. There are multiple candidates in human H1N1 - but H changes in pandemic H1N1 almost always trace back to SWINE.

Here is the pedigree of S165N at Genbank

Yes, WHO is beyond clueless when it comes to influenza evolution. They still think changes are due to RANDOM mutations and can't be predicted. When the prediction of D225G was made for Ukraine, they withheld the data and claimed there were no significant changes. When D225G was confirmed, they put out the nonsense report (claiming no clustering) at the end of 2009 and then again in February, 2010, just before the sequences from autopsy lung in Ukraine came out, showing widespread D225G and D225N clustered in Ukraine. The use a HEAVILY manipulated "antigen characterization" test to claim matches for mismatches on vaccine targets, and of course have recommended California/7 for the southern hemisphere in 2011 and northern hemisphere in 2011/2012.
Pandemic H1N1 is swine jumped to humans, and now it is starting to evolve more quickly (with MANY versions back in swine ready to jump again).
The WHO August proclamation of an end to the pandemic, followed by the recommendation to leave the vaccine unchanged reflects the outdated views of their "experts", who are clearly hazardous to the world's health.

Thanks. Interesting the swine connection - this could be end up being a movable feast of the flu jumping into swine, then back out with never ending antigen shift, and the consequences therein.

The newly released sequences from 2011 isolates in Europe are dominated by changes at positions 156-159, which produce LOW REACTORS, and also are found in swine.

I find it morbidly fascinating that the stunning technology we have eg sequencing is no match for the human stupidity of authorities like the WHO. I just hope they are held to account if the **** hits the fan.

They are WELL into the clueless beyond belief category. They think all of these predictable changes are "coincidences"!!!!!!!

I guess that is what happens when science is infected (pun intended) with politics, especially international politics.

16 of the 32 European sequences have a change at positions 156-159 and 10 of the 16 have G158E, which has been shown to be a LOW REACTOR change by multiple labs, including CDC data on H1N1 sequences from isolates OUTSIDE of the US.

This is pure politics disigned to show that mismatches are matches, and the propaganda is fed to MD's on the vaccine recommendation committees and reporters who are spoon fed utter nonsense, which is passed on to anyone who will listen (and multiple message boards act as propaganda propagators).
