    Document: All the laboratory testing was carried out at the National Influenza Centre (NIC) located at Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe, Uganda. This laboratory is the national reference centre for human influenza surveillance in Uganda and participates routinely in the WHO External Quality Assessment Panel Programme for influenza viruses. A nasopharyngeal swab (Pur-Wraps ® , Puritan Medical Products Company LLC, Maine, USA) was collected from each study participant. Specimens collected at health centres were placed immediately in 500 µl of viral transport media (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium ® , Highveld Biological Ltd, Lyndhurst, South Africa; supplemented with 0.5% serum albumin, 100 U/ml of Penicillin and 100 U/ml of Streptomycin), stored in liquid nitrogen and transported to the NIC for further analysis.
