Is influence caused by a virus?

 

The influenza virus infects the nose, throat, and perhaps the lungs, causing a contagious respiratory infection. A, B, C, and D are the four kinds of influenza viruses. Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of illness (known as flu season) in the United States almost every winter. The only influenza viruses that have been known to cause pandemics, or widespread flu outbreaks, are influenza A viruses. Despite the fact that more than 100 viruses can cause a cold, only influenza virus types A, B, and C cause the flu. Viruses of type A and B produce seasonal epidemics.

The flu is caused by influenza viruses invading the nose, throat, and lungs. When patients with the flu cough, sneeze, or talk, virus-laden droplets are thrown into the air, potentially landing in the mouths or nostrils of others around. The influenza virus affects your respiratory system, which includes your nose, throat, and lungs. Despite the fact that influenza is commonly referred to as "the flu," it is not the same as stomach "flu" viruses, which cause diarrhoea and vomiting. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can make you feel very sick. All influenza viruses are made out of single-stranded RNA, as opposed to dual-stranded DNA.You could have allergies, sinusitis, or a secondary infection if your symptoms linger more than 10 days or return. The virus that causes measles lives in the mucus of an infected person's nose and throat. Coughing and sneezing might spread it.

Viruses, bacteria, and fungus can all cause pneumonia. Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 are the most common causes of viral pneumonia in the United States (the virus that causes COVID-19). The bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most prevalent cause of bacterial pneumonia (pneumococcus). The answer is yes since the virus has the ability to mutate (change). If you catch swine flu, your body generates antibodies that recognise the virus and help you fight it if you acquire it again. The world has been ravaged by a pandemic of a rare influenza virus. A viral epidemic causes an influenza pandemic. A pandemic happens when a new (novel) strain of influenza emerges. A virus appears with the power to infect humans swiftly and spread from person to person at an unstoppable rate.
