Currently I am over-viewing the hospital based influenza surveillance in Bangladesh. We collect nasopharyngeal and oral swabs to test for influenza viruses types and subtypes by rt-PCR. Our objectives are to find out any highly pathogenic influenza strain causing severe respiratory tract infections and to find out the influenza seasonality in Bangladesh.Â
