The Nextstrain team maintains datasets and other tools for analyzing a variety of influenza viruses. We track the evolution of seasonal influenza viruses (A/H3N2, A/H1N1pdm, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata) and use these analyses to inform recommendations for the World Health Organization’s influenza vaccine composition meetings. We also maintain datasets for a subset of avian influenza viruses that have caused recurrent outbreaks in humans and domestic birds, including novel reassortant H5 viruses.
