Q

Notes about Orthomyxoviridae?

A

Influenza A causes pandemics. B makes you sick too, but not as bad as A.

Glycoproteins:
Hemagglutinin - H, viral spike for attachment
Neuraminidase - N, allows virus to be released

Drift - minor change
Shift - major change

Can mutate due to mixing segments w/ other animal flus
