Influenza viruses exist as four types (A, B, C, and D); type A can infect a wide variety of species, type B only affects humans, type C infects humans and pigs, while type D is specific for cattle and swine.

• Influenza A viruses, the most virulent type, are mainly referred to by their subtypes. These are based on two surface proteins - hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N); 18 hemagglutinin and 11 neuraminidase subtypes exist
• Influenza B viruses are classified into two strains but not subtypes: B/Yamagata and B/Victoria
• Influenza type C and D viruses have not been assigned strains or subtypes to date
