【 摘 要 】

New influenza A virus subtypes, similar to those that caused the three pandemics of the 20th century, are likely to emerge in the 21st century as well. Medical advances and public health preparedness efforts have improved the nation’s abilities to respond to a pandemic influenza emergency even as dramatic increases in global travel and the demand for poultry have made the nation more vulnerable to such threats.
