Dr Terrence Tumpey examines a reconstructed version of the Spanish flu virus at the CDC. An effort to recreate the Spanish flu strain (a strain of influenza A subtype H1N1) was a collaboration among the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, the USDA ARS Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York

Viruses with 7 of the 10 amino acids in the human influenza locations have already been identified in currently circulating H5N1 .
