The pepitope distances between the vaccine strain A/Texas/50/2012(egg) and reported novel strains (World Health Organization, 2014b) in 2013 and 2014. The pi values for each epitope (i= A–E), the number of substitutions in epitope i divided by the number of amino acids in epitope i, are also shown. The value of pepitope is the largest of the pi values, and the corresponding epitope i is dominant. Zero values indicate no substitutions in that epitope.
