Meta-analysis on the lethality of influenza A viruses using machine learning approaches

Abstract

Influenza viruses are persistently threatening public health, causing annual epidemics, and sporadic pandemics. The majority of influenza viruses reside among the avian species due to host range restriction. However, some avian strains do acquire the capability to overcome host species barrier to cause human infections due to mutations and reassortments. These novel influenza strains may cause high
