3.2. Influenza A
Influenza virus infection is one of the most common, highly contagious infectious diseases
and it can occur in people of any age. Influenza A viruses are transmitted through direct
contact, indirect contact, large respiratory droplets and aerosols (droplets nuclei).
Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and are divided into types A, B and
C. Influenza types A and B are responsible for epidemics of respiratory illness that are often
associated with increased rates of hospitalization and death. During the 20th century, the
only influenza A subtypes that circulated extensively in humans were (H1N1) Spanish Flu;
(H1N2); (H2N2) Asian Flu; and (H3N2) Hong Kong Flu. A new strain of influenza A, H1N1
emerged in 2009 called ‘Swine Flu’ as it originated in swine and spread to humans. More
