  Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Influenza Division collects and analyzes influenza surveillance data year-round and produces a weekly report on U.S. influenza activity during the influenza season which begins at week 40 each year. The U.S. influenza surveillance system provides information in five categories collected from eight data sources. The 2013-2014 influenza season began on September 29, 2013, and this report also summarizes influenza activity during the summer weeks of the 2012-13 season.
  
  The five categories and eight components of influenza surveillance are:

  National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS), and human infection
  
  with novel influenza A virus case reporting;
