Avian influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type-A strains of the influenza virus. The unprecedented spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza type A is a threat to veterinary and human health. Influenza viruses continuously undergo mutations and they lack proofreading mechanism. Hence, they evolve to new forms of the virus. We describe MAP MUTATION (developed using PERL script) to quickly compare two strains and display mutational information and report specific positions where mutation has occurred.

禽流感是一种由甲型流感病毒引起的禽类传染病。高致病性甲型禽流感的空前传播对兽医和人类健康构成威胁。流感病毒不断发生突变,且缺乏校对机制。因此,它们会演变成新的病毒形式。我们描述了MAP突变(使用PERL脚本开发),用于快速比较两种毒株,并显示突变信息,报告发生突变的特定位置。
