What virus causes the current influenza pandemic
Because influenza is so dangerous to humans and livestock, WHO has classified it as an infectious disease for which global surveillance is practiced. Animal influenza, especially avian influenza, is very closely related to human influenza and human health, and avian influenza is thought to be a source of new genes for the preservation and mutation of human influenza. A limited number of influenza virus subtypes are present in mammals, whereas all 15 hemagglutinin and 9 neuraminidase subtypes of influenza viruses are present in avian species, particularly waterfowl, that are now known. The ability of avian influenza viruses to break through the interspecies barrier and directly infect and kill humans or mammals has led to a renewed understanding of the public **** health significance of avian influenza.
