Influenza Virus Genomes from a Pediatric Hospital in Eastern China, 2024

425 influenza virus genomes were sequenced from 490 antigen-positive specimens collected in 2024 from a pediatric hospital in Qidong, eastern China. The dataset includes genetic characteristics, phylogenetic clade assignments, and antiviral susceptibility markers. The work was authored by Xiaoqing Sun and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing co-circulation patterns of influenza subtypes based on the reported prevalence of A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria.
• Tracking genetic evolution and positively selected sites based on the HA and NA segment data and clade assignments.
• Monitoring antiviral resistance markers based on the detection of the oseltamivir resistance marker NA-H275Y.
• Studying seasonal activity peaks based on the reported temporal patterns in January and December.

Strengths

• Contains 425 sequenced influenza genomes, representing 86.73% of the 490 collected specimens.
• Includes specific genetic data such as clade assignments and positively selected sites in HA and NA segments.
• Reports antiviral susceptibility, including the frequency (3.65%) of the oseltamivir resistance marker NA-H275Y.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to a single pediatric hospital in Qidong, eastern China, in 2024.
