As per WHO there are 4 types of seasonal
influenza viruses, types A, B, C and D.

Influenza A viruses are further classified into


subtypes according to the combinations of the
hemagglutinin (HA) and the neuraminidase
(NA), the proteins on the surface of the virus.

Currently circulating in humans are subtype


A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) influenza viruses.

The A(H1N1) is also written as A(H1N1)pdm09


as it caused the pandemic in 2009 and
subsequently replaced the seasonal influenza
A(H1N1) virus which had circulated prior to
2009. Only influenza type A viruses are known
to have caused pandemics.
