| The H9N2 strain of influenza commonly infects poultry and occasionally humans. Replikins, Ltd., using its FluForecast® software, has studied the Replikin Count® annually in each of H9N2 and its sister strain H5N1. Cyclic increases and decreases appear to be synchronous for H9N2 and H5N1, with H9N2 increases occurring in advance of, and being greater than those for H5N1. These two strains appear to have a precursor and/or competitor, evolutionary biochemical relationship. H9N2 may be an alternate candidate to H5N1 for the next influenza pandemic. |
