While most studies focused on natural disasters, we explore the consequences of the global pandemic caused by a lethal influenza virus in 1918–19: the so‐called “Spanish Flu.” This was by far the worst pandemic of modern history, causing up to 100 million deaths worldwide.
Despite not originating in Spain, the 1918 influenza pandemic is commonly known as the “Spanish flu”—a name that reflects a tendency in public health history to associate new infectious diseases with foreign nationals and foreign countries.
Abstract. For the past 400 years, epidemics resem- in England and the 18th Century in the USA are bling influenza have been recorded in many coun- recognizable as influenza, even in the absences of tries. Epidemics from as early as the 16th Century precise knowledge of their causative agents. Key words: Control, Influenza, Pandemic.
The 1918 “Spanish flu” pandemic was caused by a founder H1N1 influenza A virus. The three subsequent pandemics of 1957, 1968, and 2009 (black arrows) were caused by descendants of the 1918 virus, which acquired one or more genes through reassortment ( 12 ).
Influenza pandemics are recorded four times, starting with the deadly Spanish flu. This is also the period of virus isolation and development of vaccines. [ 17 ] Prior to the 20th century, much information about influenza is generally not considered certain.
13 Ιουν 2020 · In 1957, virologists did not understand the genetic mechanisms behind the emergence of new pandemic strains, hence the initial confusion as to whether this influenza virus was a variation of the H1N1 influenza virus of 1918.
1 Ιουλ 2022 · As Covid-19, the Spanish Flu was a global pandemic, hitting countries at roughly similar times. However, there were substantial differences in mortality rates between and within countries. The Spanish Flu spread across the world through the movements of troops in the...
