mBio, the American Society for Microbiology’s online, open access journal, has published a long and fascinating review this morning on what we’ve learned over the past 15 years about the 1918 H1N1 `Spanish Flu’ pandemic virus, written by some of the biggest experts in the field.
At this point, I’ll just step aside and invite you to read:
Reconstruction of the 1918 Influenza Virus: Unexpected Rewards from the Past
Jeffery K. Taubenberger, David Baltimore, Peter C. Doherty, Howard Markel, David M. Morens, Robert G. Webster and Ian A. Wilson

Highly recommended.
