CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE FOR INFLUENZA RESEARCH AND RESPONSE

CEIRR将确定影响流感病毒进化、出现、传播和致病性的分子、生态和/或环境因素，并表征对流感感染的免疫反应，以提高对保护和交叉保护的免疫相关性的了解。CEIRR将开展一系列活动，包括队列研究和人类和动物采样，以进一步了解流感感染、传播和疫苗接种；确定在应对流感感染和疫苗接种时决定疾病结果的免疫因素；以及确定流感病毒如何在人与物种之间和跨物种界面进化、适应和传播的研究。

CEIRR will determine the molecular, ecologic and/or environmental factors that influence the evolution, emergence, transmission and pathogenicity of influenza viruses, and characterize the immune response to influenza infection to improve understanding of the immune correlates of protection and cross-protection. CEIRR will carry out a host of activities, including cohort studies and human and animal sampling to further understanding of influenza infection, transmission and vaccination; identification of immunological factors that determine disease outcome in the response to influenza infection and vaccination; and studies to determine how influenza viruses evolve, adapt and transmit between humans and at interspecies interfaces.
