Overview
Influenza infection is caused by the influenza virus that belong to the family Orthomyxoviridae. Three types of influenza virus have been reported to cause clinical illness in humans: types A, B, and C. Influenza virus can be found in humans, as well as in poultry, pigs, and bats.
Taxonomy
- The scientific name of the virus is respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV)
- Other names include human orthopneumovirus or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
- Member of the Pneumoviridae family and Orthopneumovirus genus.
- Enveloped, negative sense, single stranded RNA virus[1].
- Main subtypes are A and B. Most evidence suggests no difference in disease severity between both subtypes[2].
- RSV fusion protein facilitates the fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane. This protein is a target for vaccines and anti-viral agents.
- Transmission:
* There are no animal reservoirs for this virus. * Spread via nasal or oral secretions, either directly via large droplets (and probably aerosolized particles) or indirectly through contact with contaminated hands and environmental surfaces (e.g. cribs, toys, doorknobs, tabletops)
