THE BIOLOGY OF INFLUENZA VIRUSES

By Nicole M. Bouvier, P. Palese. Vaccine, 2008

The influenza viruses are characterized by segmented, negative-strand RNA genomes requiring an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of viral origin for replication. The particular structure of the influenza virus genome and function of its viral proteins enable antigenic drift and antigenic shift. These processes result in viruses able to evade the long-term adaptive immune responses in many hosts.

• Next-Generation Influenza Vaccines. (2020, background): “…is to prevent disease caused by two genera in theOrthomyxoviridae family, influenzaA and B. Orthomyxoviruses have a segmented, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome, and influenza A and B have eight gene segments that encode at least 11 characterized proteins (Bouvier and Palese 2008).”
