The incidence of influenza under different circumstances e.g. temperature, humidity, or tropical conditions and different aspects like synchronicity of infections or in respect to evolutionary conditions do sustain this hypothesis if the behaviour of insects is considered. When influenza virus has reached humans and persists there, it disappears during off-season but re-emerges regularly. Seasonality of influenza is explainable using this insect-compartment model in temperate climate conditions. Associations of global weather conditions to the dynamics of seasonal influenza are found regularly, but the biological mechanism between climate variations and influenza epidemics is dubious [27] . Here, an viral-flow model contributory to explain seasonality of influenza is applied to elucidate questions and circumstances concerning influenza infections like synchronicity, environmental factors. ./cache/cord-013073-siy7dvlo.txt ./txt/cord-013073-siy7dvlo.txt
