“…Taylor (1949) first isolated influenza virus C in 1947 from a patient suffering from a mild influenzal illness. The occurrence of this virus in human illness which has been recorded since then (Francis et al, 1950;Fukumi et al, 1951;Styk, 1954;Minuse et al, 1954;De Meio et al, 1955;Andrews and McDonald, 1955) has shown that it is usually associated with mild or trivial infections of the respiratory tract. A few authors have, however, described more severe illness.…”

“…Analyses by Francis et al (9) and by Hilleman (38) have revealed anti genic homogeneity among the type C influenza viruses. However, the num ber of strains isolated to date is small, and final conclusions regarding the antigenic qualities of the group as a whole must await further study.…”

“…The influenza viruses consist of three distinct immunological groups designated type A (including swine influenza), type B, and type C (9). The term A' (10) has been applied to A-type viruses prevalent since 1946, which are markedly different antigenicalIy from those which occurred previously.…”

Influenza virus infections continue to cause substantial morbidity and mortality with a worldwide social and economic impact. The past five years have seen dramatic advances in our understanding of viral replication, evolution, and antigenic variation. Genetic analyses have clarified relationships between human and animal influenza virus strains, demonstrating the potential for the appearance of new pandemic reassortants as hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes are exchanged in an intermediate host. Clinical trials of candidate live attenuated influenza virus vaccines have shown the cold-adapted reassortants to be a promising alternative to the currently available inactivated virus preparations. Modern molecular techniques have allowed serious consideration of new approaches to the development of antiviral agents and vaccines as the functions of the viral genes and proteins are further elucidated. The development of techniques whereby the genes of influenza viruses can be specifically altered to investigate those functions will undoubtedly accelerate the pace at which our knowledge expands.
