Multiple Choice
Which description of antigenic drift and antigenic shift in the influenza virus is incorrectly matched?
A) Antigenic shift: Often leads to viral strains with new features such as increased infectivity or expanded host range.
B) Antigenic drift: Spontaneous mutation leads to a minor change in HA or NA spikes.
C) Antigenic shift: May result in a pandemic outbreak due to widespread lack of immunity.
D) Antigenic drift: A host vaccinated against an influenza strain before antigenic drift may lack effective immunity and be susceptible to infection.
E) Antigenic drift: Often involves reassortment of viral strains in an animal host followed by a "species jump" to humans.
