Influenza occurs in distinct outbreaks of varying extent every year. The influenza epidemiology pattern reflects the changing nature of the antigenic properties of influenza viruses, and their subsequent spread depends upon multiple factors, including transmissibility of the virus and the susceptibility of the population. Influenza A viruses, in particular, has a remarkable ability to undergo periodic changes in the antigenic characteristics of their envelope glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase. Influenza is a highly infectious disease which can occur as a pandemic, epidemic, outbreak and in form of sporadic cases. While in home isolation, patients and other household members should be given infection control instructions, including frequent hand washing with soap and water. Use alcohol-based hand gels (containing at least 60% alcohol) when soap and water are not available and hands are not visibly dirty. Patients with H1N1 influenza should wear a face mask when within 6 feet of others at home.

With the grand success of Vaccines Asia Pacific 2015 conference, Conference Series LLC is organizing the “5th Annual Congress on Influenza, Respiratory Diseases & Infections: Vaccines and Therapeutics (IRDI Vaccines 2016)” will be scheduled during December 01-02, 2016 at Atlanta, USA. IRDI Vaccines 2016 bring together the Global leaders in Immunology and relevant fields to present their research at this exclusive scientific program. IRDI Vaccines 2016 Organizing Committee also invites Young investigators at every career stage to submit abstracts reporting their latest scientific findings in oral and poster sessions.
