Influenza Virus
Influenza virus is a highly contagious, small RNA virus of the family Orthomyxoviridae, responsible for causing seasonal flu epidemics. It has a significant impact on public health, with the World Health Organization estimating that over a billion people are affected each year. Influenza viruses can cause mild to severe respiratory illness in humans and animals. Prevention measures such as annual vaccinations and early detection and treatment of symptoms can reduce the risk of infection and subsequent complications. Avoiding contact with people who are infected, washing hands frequently and covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing can also help to reduce the spread of the virus.
