The flu is a virus with many subtypes that are identified and classified by differences in two proteins, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). The differences are due to the rapid mutation of the virus. The scientific community has learned a lot on influenza A virus, but the fact is we can not know what we know and the virus mutates rapidly, becoming something new. Antiviral drugs do not eliminate the virus, inhibiting virus replication. Learn more about the life cycle of a virus has led to the development of antiviral strategies that target the virus in different stages of that cycle.
