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

Table 3_Molecular epidemiology and genetic characteristics of influenza viruses in a local pediatric population of eastern China, 2024.xlsx contains genomic data from 425 influenza virus genomes sequenced from 490 antigen-positive pediatric specimens collected in Qidong, eastern China, in 2024. The dataset, authored by Xiaoqing Sun and last updated in April 2026, details co-circulation patterns, phylogenetic clade assignments, and antiviral resistance markers. It was published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing influenza subtype co-circulation patterns based on the reported prevalence of A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria.
• Tracking genetic evolution and phylogenetic clade assignment based on the described clade designations for each subtype.
• Monitoring antiviral resistance based on the reported frequency of the oseltamivir resistance marker NA-H275Y in A/H1N1 strains.
• Identifying positively selected sites in viral proteins based on the mentioned residues in hemagglutinin.

Strengths

• Includes 425 complete or partial influenza virus genomes, representing an 86.73% sequencing success rate from 490 specimens.
• Provides specific genetic details, including phylogenetic clade assignments and the frequency of a key antiviral resistance marker (3.65% for NA-H275Y).
• Captures temporal dynamics with two distinct activity peaks reported in January and December 2024.

Limitations

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