INFLUENZA VIRUS: A CHALLENGE TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND TO MEDICINE IN THE LIGHT OF EVOLUTION

This ebook explains the basics needed to understand the flu virus and its evolution. It is accompanied by a printable board game (AN EVOLVING VIRUS) that aims to promote an understanding of the evolution of the influenza virus genome through the redistribution of its genomic segments and genetic mutations. This game aims to explore the seasonal generation of new variants through rearrangements that naturally occur in the genome of the influenza virus as a result of the interaction between different infected animals.
