Italy130 is an exact nucleotide match on segment 4 (Hemagglutinin/H1) with the TamiFlu-Resistant
A/Hunan/SWL3 from China, with 21 North American sequences and with 1 sequence from Sao Paulo, Brasil. Furthermore, Italy130 is a 1700/1701 nucleotide match to TamiFlu-Resistant
A/Yamaguchi/22 from Japan.
No segment 6 (Neuraminidase/N1) is published for any of the 6 Italian sequences released today, including Italy130; ergo, TamiFlu-Resistance cannot be invalidated by data.
Absence of data is apparently being commissioned as the
new art form?
