Abstract
Influenza is one of those contagious virus diseases in man and animals which still occurs in a world-wide distribution and infects many individuals every year. Rapidly progressing pandemics are known to occur about each decade, the last one being caused by the Hong Kong strain of influenza virus in 1968. The intensity of infection and mortality rates vary greatly during a pandemic and particularly in the periods with more limited outbreaks.
