Was thinking that the information might be better displayed in a table format? For the Northern Hemisphere winter influenza seasons from 1998 to present, it would look like this:
| NH winter season | H1N1 | H3N2 | B-strain | additional B-strain for QIV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 1998–April 1999[1] | A/Beijing/262/95(H1N1)-like virus | A/Sydney/5/97(H3N2)-like virus | B/Beijing/184/93-like virus | N/A |
| November 1999–April 2000[2] | A/Beijing/262/95 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Sydney/5/97 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Beijing/184/93-like virus or B/Shangdong/7/97-like virus | N/A |
| 2000–2001[3] | A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Moscow/10/99 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Beijing/184/93-like virus | N/A |
| 2001–2002[4] | A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like virus | A/Moscow/10/99(H3N2)-like virus | B/Sichuan/379/99-like virus | N/A |
| 2002–2003[5] | A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like virus | A/Moscow/10/99(H3N2)-like virus | B/Hong Kong/330/2001-like virus | N/A |
| 2003–2004[6] | A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like virus | A/Moscow/10/99(H3N2)-like virus | B/Hong Kong/330/2001-like virus | N/A |
| 2004-2005[7] | A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like virus | A/Fujian/411/2002(H3N2)-like virus | B/Shanghai/361/2002-like virus | N/A |

| 2006-2007[9] | A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1)-like | A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Malaysia/2506/2004-like virus | N/A |
| 2007-2008[10] | A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Malaysia/2506/2004-like virus | N/A |
| 2008-2009[11] | A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Florida/4/2006-like virus | N/A |
| 2009-2010[12] | A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus | N/A |
| 2010-2011[13] | A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus | N/A |
| 2011-2012[14] | A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus | A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus | N/A |
| 2012-2013[15] | A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus[16] | A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2)-like virus | B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like virus | B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus[15] |
This corrects a few, makes all the references standard (the WHO recommendation), and extends it a bit earlier. I wasn't sure about including the 2012-203 as "historical", but the decision was made in Feb, so it does make sense as a matter of record; because the naming changed for the 2009 pandemic strain, I included a reference on the new standardization. --Synaptophysin (talk) 16:12, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Track record?
[edit]Any information on how accurate the predictions were each year relative to actual viruses that were prevalent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.38.135 (talk) 13:10, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- It would be very tough to ascertain. Accuracy would vary by region, as the circulating strains may vary in prevalence. For some regions it will be possible, but availability of data on typed influenza will be dependent on national (or with nations) collection and publishing. For Canada, the FluWatch website published by the Public Health Agency of Canada reports on the types of influenza identified; for the 2013-2014 season the most recent report (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/fluwatch/13-14/w03_14/index-eng.php#f4) indicated that 98.8% of identified strains match the three WHO-recommended strains. --Synaptophysin (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
