Weimin Zhang, MD, Zhongheng Zhang, MD, PhD, Maofeng Wang, MD, PhD
https://doi.org/10.7326/L22-0376
Background: Influenza viruses are classified into types A, B, C, and D. Types A and B are further classified into subtypes based on which single hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) they have of the many possible ones. Only 2 subtypes of influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2) are currently circulating in humans; however, many subtypes of influenza A virus have been found in wild aquatic birds, wild waterfowl, and poultry (1). These subtypes are known as avian influenza viruses (AIVs)...
