Multiple reassortment events in the evolutionary history of H1N1 influenza A virus since 1918

The H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus has caused substantial morbidity and mortality in humans, first documented in the global pandemic of 1918 and continuing to the present day. Despite this disease burden, the evolutionary history of the A/H1N1 virus is not well understood, particularly whether there is a virological basis for several notable epidemics of unusual severity in the 1940s and 1950s. Using a data set of 71 representative complete genome sequences sampled between 1918 and 2006, we show that segmental reassortment has played an important role in the genomic evolution of A/H1N1 since 1918. Specifically, we demonstrate that an A/H1N1 isolate from the 1947 epidemic acquired novel PB2 and HA genes through intra-subtype reassortment, which may explain the abrupt antigenic evolution of this virus. Similarly, the 1951 influenza epidemic may also have been associated with reassortant A/H1N1 viruses. Intra-subtype reassortment therefore appears to be a more important process in the evolution and epidemiology of H1N1 influenza A virus than previously realized

The development of modern Chinese banking

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityThis study purports to evaluate the relationship between the Chinese modern banking system and the activities or the national economy and to describe the significance of its development on China's peace and war economy. The problem is to be approached by tracing the formation of banking institutions and developments, by investigating the internal organization and practices and by analyzing the influence of Government financial policies. It covers the period from the appearance of the first Chinese-owned modern bank in 1897 to the New Monetary Reform in 1948. The meagerness of data necessarily renders this study far from being complete; the most significant characteristics of the development, however, are to be considered

The Opium Wars, Opium Legalization, and Opium Consumption in China

The effect of drug prohibition on drug consumption is a critical issue in debates over drug policy. One episode that provides information on the consumption-reducing effect of drug prohibition is the Chinese legalization of opium in 1858. In this paper we examine the impact of China's opium legalization on the quantity and price of British opium exports from India to China during the 19th century. We find little evidence that legalization increased exports or decreased price. Thus, the evidence suggests China's opium prohibition had a minimal impact on opium consumpton.
