These studies suggest that influenza is a significant infectious respiratory disease caused by influenza A and B viruses, with vaccination and antiviral drugs being the most effective prevention and treatment methods, though novel strategies are needed to address resistance and severe cases.
Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza A, B, and C viruses. It is characterized by seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics, leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The disease affects millions annually, with severe cases resulting in hospitalizations and deaths, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Influenza remains a significant global health challenge due to its high transmissibility, potential for severe complications, and the continuous evolution of the virus. Annual vaccination is essential for prevention, though its efficacy can be compromised by viral mutations. Antiviral treatments are available but face limitations due to resistance. Ongoing research into universal vaccines and novel therapies holds promise for better management and control of influenza in the future.
