Abstract
Following the Second World War, the World Health Organization established a worldwide network of laboratories to track influenza viruses. The intention then, and now, was to give prior warning of the emergence of new antigenic and drug-resistant variants 1 of this most unpredictable and global virus. The contribution of the South African National Institute for Communicable Diseases has been outstanding in this regard and, to some extent, has acted as a sentinel for the whole continent. Prof Barry Schoub, in turn, has been at the epicentre of this most academic and yet practical research and diagnostic centre.
