摘要
The appearance of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 highlighted the potential impact of influenza virus on humanity. The emergence of this high profile virus stimulated much research towards a better understanding of the key determinants for successful human-to-human transmission and as such has provided new directions for therapeutic intervention strategies. For example, a phylogenetic-based grouping of influenza virus sialicases into either Group 1 or 2 has been proposed. This has provided new opportunity for the development of Group 1-specific anti-influenza drugs. Furthermore, a number of next generation sialidase inhibitors as anti-influenza drugs have also been developed.
