The water in turn influences movement, social behavior and migration patterns of water bird species. It is therefore of great importance to know the ecological strategy of influenza virus as well, in order to fully understand this disease and to control outbreaks when they occur. Most research is needed concerning HPAI viruses in wild birds. [24]
Articulavirales. Family: Orthomyxoviridae. Genus: Alphainfluenzavirus. Species: Influenza A virus. Influenza A virus (IAV) is the only species of the genus Alphainfluenzavirus of the virus family Orthomyxoviridae. [ 1] It is a pathogen with strains that infect birds and some mammals, as well as causing seasonal flu in humans. [ 2]
Influenza, commonly known as " the flu " or just " flu ", is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses. Symptoms range from mild to severe and often include fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, coughing, and fatigue. These symptoms begin one to four (typically two) days after exposure to the virus and last for about ...
Alcohol is an effective sanitizer against influenza viruses, while quaternary ammonium compounds can be used with alcohol so that the sanitizing effect lasts for longer. [26] In hospitals, quaternary ammonium compounds and bleach are used to sanitize rooms or equipment that have been occupied by patients with influenza symptoms. [26]
A/Fujian (H5N1) Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 ( A/H5N1) is a subtype of the influenza A virus, which causes influenza (flu), predominantly in birds. It is enzootic (maintained in the population) in many bird populations, and also panzootic (affecting animals of many species over a wide area). [ 1] A/H5N1 virus can also infect mammals ...
The pandemic H1N1/09 virus is a swine origin influenza A virus subtype H1N1 strain that was responsible for the 2009 swine flu pandemic. This strain is often called swine flu by the public media due to the prevailing belief that it originated in pigs. The virus is believed to have originated around September 2008 in central Mexico.
Spanish flu (1918–1920) The 1918 flu pandemic, commonly referred to as the Spanish flu, was a category 5 influenza pandemic caused by an unusually severe and deadly Influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1 . The difference between the influenza mortality age-distributions of the 1918 epidemic and normal epidemics.
Swine influenza is an infection caused by any of several types of swine influenza viruses. Swine influenza virus ( SIV) or swine-origin influenza virus ( S-OIV) refers to any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs. [ 2] As of 2009, identified SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as ...
