Influenza viruses are negative-stranded RNA viruses of the Orthomyxoviridae family. Influenza infections are associated with seasonal outbreaks of respiratory disease, such as pharyngitis, croup, bronchitis, and pneumonia1. Usually one type, either type A or B, will predominate during each epidemic2.
Influenza A comprises of a single genus and shows antigenic variation in the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins. Influenza A subtypes are identified by the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens, H1-H13 and N1-N9, respectively3. Strains H1N1, H3N2 have been associated with pandemics in humans3.
