Influenza A – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Influenza A is a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family, characterized by its enveloped structure and negative-sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA genome. The viral genome consists of eight segments that encode 11 viral genes: hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), matrix 1 (M1), matrix 2 (M2), nucleoprotein (NP), non-structural protein 1 (NSP1), non-structural protein 2 (NS2; also known as nuclear export protein, NEP), polymerase acidic protein (PA), polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1), polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2), and polymerase basic protein 1 – F2 (PB1-F2). Influenza A virions exhibit various shapes, with the predominant form roughly spherical. Symptoms commonly associated with influenza A infection include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and cough. The viral envelope comprises a lipid bilayer derived from the host's plasma membrane and contains three transmembrane proteins: HA, NA, and M2. This lipid bilaye...
