The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Influenza Programme and its network monitor influenza viruses worldwide. This surveillance informs annual vaccine composition and detects potential pandemic threats.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Global influenza surveillance is coordinated by the WHO Global Influenza Programme.
  • Network partners collect and perform initial analysis on influenza virus specimens.
  • Newly isolated strains are sent to WHO Collaboration Centers for advanced characterization.

Purpose:

  • To provide data for annual influenza vaccine composition recommendations.
  • To serve as a global alert system for novel influenza viruses with pandemic potential.

Summary:

  • The WHO Global Influenza Programme collaborates with the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network for worldwide influenza monitoring.
  • Network participants conduct primary virus isolation and antigenic characterization.
  • WHO Collaboration Centers perform high-level antigenic and genetic analysis on submitted strains, guiding vaccine recommendations and pandemic surveillance.
