A July 13 USA Today story on the influenza epidemics of 1918, 1957 and 1968 quotes UCSF infectious disease expert Charles Chiu, MD, PhD. The story cites a new study that used computer analyses of those three epidemics and determined the strains had been circulating in humans and pigs for at least two to 15 years before the widespread and deadly outbreaks. Chiu is director of the UCSF Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center at China Basin and is affiliated with the UCSF School of Medicine and with the California Institute of Quantitative Biosciences (QB3).
