lnxw48a1 (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Feb-2024 17:20:19 EST lnxw48a1 One day I’m going to find out what the H and N numbers are in flu viruses, and whether it is just the A versions that have them. I know there are also influenza B and influenza D but we really don’t hear much about them. I don’t think they mutate as quickly as the A versions do. -

Types of Influenza Viruses CDC
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/types.htm
>Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on two proteins on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). There are 18 different hemagglutinin subtypes and 11 different neuraminidase subtypes (H1 through H18 and N1 through N11, respectively).
