Influenza viruses belong to the orthomyxoviruses, a family of spherical or oval-shaped, enveloped (-)RNA viruses with a segmented genome. Three types of influenza viruses are known, Types A, B and C. All cause acute respiratory disease in humans.Influenza (flu) is a short-lived fever associated with soreness and redness of the respiratory passages and a dry cough. The virus infects the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and occasionally invades the lungs. No diarrhea is seen in this disease, and the term "intestinal flu" has nothing to do with the influenza viruses.
