Influenza Respiratory Virus Review Articles

Influenza virus is one of the most common respiratory viruses and is responsible for regular epidemics and sporadic pandemics with often catastrophic effects. Classically, the virus is thought to predominantly affect the upper and sometimes lower respiratory tract, contributing clinically to upper respiratory symptoms and pneumonias. Furthermore, associations between respiratory viral infections and the development of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases have been postulated. Influenza viruses have, in terms of virus-host interactions, been classified into viruses that circulate in avian hosts and viruses circulating in other hosts including humans. Additionally, there is a distinction between viruses with low or high pathogenicity. Review papers are summaries of the current state of knowledge on a specific topic of study. Instead of announcing new study findings, they review or address work previously reported by scientists and academics.
