Background The Influenza Viruses are responsible for more than 5 million of severe cases and 290,000 to 650,000 deaths every year worldwide. Developing countries support 99% of deaths caused by Influenza in children under age of 5. This paper aims to determine the dynamics of influenza viruses in African transmission areas identifying regional seasonality for appropriate decision making and development of regional preparedness and response strategies. Methods We used data from the fluMart website collected by Influenza national programmes for seven period of transmission (2013-2019). We calculate weekly proportions of positive influenza cases and follow the trend of the transmission in countries in the Africa continent to determine the circulation and seasonality. Results AH1N1 is the predominated influenza A circulated in all the African areas of transmission. In 2016, the A(H3N2) virus was only supplanted in North Africa. The Yamagata lineage B virus, which had been circulating in West Africa until this period, has reappeared in Southern and Eastern Africa. In 2019, a proportional co-circulation of pandemic A(H1N1) 2009 and A(H3N2) influenza viruses is detected in eastern and central Africa. Conclusions The influenza viruses circulating in Africa are the same in the other continents. They generate various epidemic periods during the year. Epidemic season extends from May to August in the southern zone while it extends from August to April in northern zone. In the tropical band of the African continent, the influenza seasons start in the East and end in the West. Key words: Influenza surveillance, Africa, circulation, saisonality
