Risk factors Identify and quantify risk factors for getting influenza: Host: socio-demography (Age, ethnicity, Sex, deprivation), underlying conditions (BMI, Diabetes, Asthma etc) Healthcare: Antivirals/vaccinations, oxygen, ICU, healthcare utilization Environmental factors: housing conditions, crowding Behavioral factors: smoking, contact For socio-demographic risk factors: Population census data with good distribution data on age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation: disentangle the effect of ethnic and socio-economic gradients For specific risk factors (comorbidities, housing conditions): Casecontrol methods Sero-survey participants (a cluster-stratified random sample) as a control group SARI/ILI test negative patients as a control group

Etiology SARI surveillance RSV parainfluenza 1 parainfluenza 2 parainfluenza 3 rhinovirus adenovirus hmpv Seasonal influenza virus: antigenic drift Monitor non-flu respiratory viruses: under-recognized burden Week ILI surveillance RSV parainfluenza 1 parainfluenza 2 parainfluenza 3 rhinovirus adenovirus hmpv Week Early detection of nonseasonal influenza virus- A(H7N9) & emerging respiratory virus (MERS- CoV) Understand viral-viral, viralbacteria co-detection

17 Percentage of single virus, codetection and no virus detection Single vs codetection vs no virus by age <1 year 1 year 2-4 yrs <1 yr, 1 yr: up to 88-89% of SARI/ILI samples had viral detection <1 yr, 1 yr, 2-4 yrs: 3%, 28% and 13% of virus codetection When age increases, less codetection and more non-virus detection 5-14 yrs yrs yrs 5-64 yrs yrs Codetection Single No virus yrs

18 Conclusion SARI & ILI surveillance combined with NZ healthcare system and well characterised population subgroups: excellent for population-based research SARI & ILI allows studying burden of influenza and noninfluenza viruses in severe & mild respiratory disease, severity, risk factors, impact, VE, clinical spectrum/ outcomes and etiology SARI & ILI platforms can be developed as an integrated respiratory disease surveillance platform for both influenza (incl H7N9), MERS-CoV, and other endemic respiratory pathogen-associated diseases
