Preface

In 1918 the Spanish Flu pandemic killed an estimated 40 million people around the world.One hundred years later, in 2018, influenza virus still maintains a significant presence in themedical and veterinary spheres. Since the first isolation of a human influenza virus strain in1933, influenza has been researched intensively and remarkable progress has been made: therecent discovery of bat influenza, decoding of the heterotrimeric influenza A polymerasestructure, and identification of the host gene responsible for avian virus polymerase adapta-tion in mammals, are a few examples. The development of influenza virus reverse genetics inthe late 1990s furthered our understanding of viral pathogenesis and viral protein functions.It also promoted the generation of novel vaccine strategies. In the early 2000s, genome-wide siRNA screening, systems biology and bioinformatics were applied to influenza andother major human viruses, revealing global virus-host interaction networks and identifyingnew host genes and processes that regulate infection. Recent technological breakthroughs insuper-resolution imaging and cryo electron microscopy have opened new avenues of detect-ing molecular interactions and viral structures at very high resolution. However, influenzavirus continues to elude our persistent efforts to develop a flawless vaccine or antiviral, andthe current knowledge of influenza virus entry, replication and pathogenesis is incomplete.

This book will equip researchers – from newcomers to experienced – with varioustechniques applicable to influenza biology research in the age of big data. The protocolscontain plenty of visual aids to help the reader replicate an experiment in his/her laboratory.The chapters are weighted on molecular biology, viral cell biology and imaging approachesthat facilitate mechanistic investigation of virus-host interactions. Leading scientists – whosebios and photos are presented at the end of the book – have been brought together to covera broad range of topics such as influenza diagnosis, virus propagation, proteomics, haploidand lentiviral screening, virus entry, single-molecule RNA imaging, correlative light andelectron microscopy (CLEM), EM, light-sheet microscopy, biochemistry, viral transcrip-tion, physiological infection models (bacterial co-infections, aerosol infection), animalmodels, in vivo imaging, antigenic evolution, immunology and mathematical modeling.The book opens with an introduction to influenza and closes with four perspective chaptersthat discuss the challenges of clinical vaccine trials, debates on the gain-of-function experi-ments with pathogens of pandemic potential, and how mathematical modeling providesmechanistic insights into infection. This book will hopefully help researchers performexperiments that fill in the gaps of our knowledge and improve the overall understandingof influenza.
