Abstract
With the recent influenza A/H1N1 2009 pandemic still spreading through global populations, there has been an increased focus on optimizing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of influenza infections, as well as the epidemiology of the virus. Clinical and epidemiological data on influenza infections in tropical countries have been relatively sparse until fairly recently, and it is the aim of this review to close some of these gaps by examining the behavior of influenza viruses in the tropical Singaporean population.
