www.fludb.orgPublic Health Impact of Influenza
• Seasonal flu epidemics occur yearly during the fall/ winter months and result in 3-5 million cases of severe illness worldwide.
• More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year with seasonal flu-related complications in the U.S.
• Approximately 36,000 deaths occur due to seasonal flu each year in the U.S.
• Populations at highest risk are children under age 2, adults age 65 and older, and groups with other co-morbidities.
• Pandemics– 1918 Spanish flu (H1N1); 20 - 100 million deaths– 1957 Asian flu (H2N2); 1 - 1.5 million deaths– 1968 Hong Kong flu (H3N2); 750,000 - 1 million deaths– 2009 Swine origin (H1N1); > 16,000 deaths as of March 2010

www.fludb.orgSFVT
www.fludb.orgSF definition
• SF can be defined for any region of interest because of structural or functional properties
• Defined based on experimentation reported in the literature, 3D protein structures (PDB records), UniProt annotations and IEDB epitope records
• Defined by the specific amino acid positions in the polypeptide chain
• Manually curated and externally validated
