Abstract

The pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus is life-threatening for some patients. Analysis of virus genome sequences has provided biomedical scientists new insight in understanding host-virus interaction. We have addressed the questions if HA protein is in related to virulence of viruses. To test the hypothesis, we have focuses our analysis on the protein of hemagglutinant (HA), a protein , from the virus isolated three regions with similar living standard, popuin HongKong (death rate: 2.57 per million), Taiwan (death rate: 0.74 per million) and Japan (death rate: 0.14 per million). Our results suggest that in the human population, the virus H1N1 have isolated several time both in Taiwan and Japan, as early as in 2002 and with a dominant occurrence in 2009. However, through phylogenetic analysis, the The recent outbreak of H1N1 has different sequence origin than the previous ones. And, between the years of 2002-2008, the dominant virus stain is H3N2. The results suggest that the general population in Taiwan might not have the immunity against the new virus.
