New web-based resources addressing the 2009 H1N1 virus pandemic are available:

PubMed added useful links to its homepage, including one to publications recently added and another to GeneBank's H1N1 sequences. An FDA page devoted to testing reiterates that "no influenza tests are sufficiently sensitive to rule out an influenza infection, and clinicians must consider clinical and epidemiological criteria along with laboratory testing results."

The CDC's page devoted to clinical laboratory issues, lists links to other pages in the CDC site as well as a link to the Association of Public Health Laboratories' homepage, from where you can access their H1N1 page. Three links to pages in the WHO site ("Protocol for Antiviral Susceptibility Testing by PyrosequencingExternal Web Site Policy", "Sequencing Primers and Protocol" and "CDC Protocol of Realtime RTPCR for Swine Influenza A(H1N1)"), refer to sequencing and molecular testing.

The U.S. Government Pandemic Flu site now addresses the 2009 H1N1 virus.
