What Is Influenza?
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious viral infection that affects the respiratory system. It can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, chills, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, and headaches. Influenza is typically more severe than the common cold and can lead to complications such as pneumonia, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
The flu virus spreads easily through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can also be spread by touching a surface contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Types of Influenza Viruses
There are 4 main types of influenza viruses that affect humans: influenza A, influenza B, influenza C and influenza D.
Influenza A: This type of influenza virus can infect both animals and humans and is responsible for most seasonal flu outbreaks. Influenza A viruses are further classified based on two proteins on their surface, called hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). There are 18 different H subtypes and 11 different N subtypes, which can combine in different ways to create new strains of the virus.
Influenza B: This type of influenza virus only infects humans and is less common than influenza A. Influenza B viruses are not classified based on H and N subtypes but are instead grouped into two distinct lineages, B/Yamagata and B/Victoria.
Influenza C: This type of influenza virus also only infects humans and typically causes milder respiratory illness. Influenza C viruses do not cause widespread outbreaks like influenza A and B viruses.
Influenza D: It is a type of influenza virus that primarily affects cattle, although it can also infect pigs and other mammals. In humans, influenza D has only been reported in a few isolated cases, and there is currently no evidence to suggest that it can be transmitted between humans.
