- Title
Molecular virology: Was the 1918 pandemic caused by a bird flu? Was the 1918 flu avian in origin? (Reply).
- Authors
Gibbs, Mark J.; Gibbs, Adrian J.
- Abstract
We have proposed that the virus responsible for the 1918 human influenza pandemic was avian-like, which to us is a reasonable interpretation of all the available data from phylogenetic, sequence, serological and historical analysis, combined with what is known of influenza A virus biology. However, Gibbs and Gibbs and Antonovics et al. question our inferred origin of the 1918 influenza virus.
