Manuguerra, J.C., Mosnier, A., Paget, W.J. Monitoring of influenza in the EISS European network member countries for october 2000 to april 2001. Eurosurveillance Monthly: 2001, 6(9), p. 127-135.
Interantional comparative study
Findings
- In countries covered by the European Influenza Surveillance Scheme (EISS), the 2000-2001 winter was marked mainly by the spread of influenza A(H1N1) viruses.
- Influenza B, which globally represented a minority of cases, was common later in the season and predo-minant in Great Britain, Ireland, and Portugal
.- Influenza activity was at its maximum during the period of January and February/March 2001 with little time lag between countries (maximum four weeks).
Conclusion
Overall, the morbidity rates reported were much lower than for the previous season, illustrating a moderate level of influenza activity.
