Abstract

Influenza viruses are very small pathogens (typically 80-120 nm) belonging to the family of the \\nOrthomyxoviridae together with four other genera: Thogoto virus, Isavirus and influenza B and C \\nviruses. The influenza viruses are distinguished based on the membrane channel protein, genome \\nsize and surface glycoproteins. The influenza A viruses are further subdivided into subtypes based \\non the surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). At present, 16 \\nsubtypes of the HA and 9 subtypes of the NA are known.
