The 2 viral isolates were found to be genetically similar, to be resistant to amantadine and rimantadine, and to contain a novel genetic combination of segments from previous swine influenza viruses that have circulated in the United States since 1999, genes from swine viruses of the Eurasian lineage, and genes from avian influenza viruses.

(Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are strung together in a specific sequence, like colored beads on a string.) By comparing these amino acid sequences from twenty-five viruses, Walter Fitch, of the University of California at Irvine, and I were able to construct an evolutionary tree that suggests the relationships between the viruses.

For reasons of necessitated brevity, I have in some cases only referred in passing to some papers, most of which are open access.  But suffice it to say, all these papers are worth reading in their entirety, if only to emphasize the idea that there is probably an intricate network of causal complexity that best accounts for the North American terminal extinction event, rather than a single, albeit spectacularly compelling cause that now as in the past,  is notable for its extremely elusive nature, and which in all likelihood, doesn’t actually exist.

Here we show that following adaptation in the ferret, a reassortant virus carrying the surface proteins of an avian H9N2 in a human H3N2 backbone can transmit efficiently via respiratory droplets, creating a clinical infection similar to human influenza infections.
