Abstract

The 1918 influenza pandemic was the deadliest respiratory pandemic of the 20th century and determined the genomic make-up of subsequent human influenza A viruses (IAV).

Here, we analyze both the first 1918 IAV genomes from Europe and the first from samples prior to the autumn peak.

1918 IAV genomic diversity is consistent with a combination of local transmission and long-distance dispersal events.

Comparison of genomes before and during the pandemic peak shows variation at two sites in the nucleoprotein gene associated with resistance to host antiviral response, pointing at a possible adaptation of 1918 IAV to humans.

Finally, local molecular clock modeling suggests a pure pandemic descent of seasonal H1N1 IAV as an alternative to the hypothesis of origination through an intrasubtype reassortment.
