ABSTRACT

Influenza is an acute viral disease that annually affects a large portion of the human population. Influenza is caused by influenza viruses, members of the Orthomyxoviridae family. Three types of influenza viruses are known: A, B y C; type A, affects a wide variety of animal species including humans, types B and C affect particularly humans, however they have been isolated from seals and pigs, respectively. Influenza viruses have the ability to cause epidemics and pandemics as they are constantly generating new strains that evade any previous immune response in their hosts. Their genome, divided into eight segments, allows the exchange of genetic material among viruses of other species that are simultaneouslyinfecting one cell, facilitating transmission to other hosts. Currently, an epidemic worldwide outbreak is being caused by a novel pig strain A(H1N1), alerting all countries for a possible new pandemic. Effective control measures by the national governments are mandatory in order to slow the spread of the virus.
