A common example of this is in the influenza virus which can undergo either antigenic shift or antigenic drift which can cause the outer surface of the virus to appear differently to a host previously infected with the virus. This is why there is there is no single vaccine for the influenza virus but instead a new one is usually developed before each flu season that will provide immunity to the strains that scientists…

Chapter 19 deal with the facts and stories that had to do with the influenza virus.

DNA viruses by inhibiting the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, which is needed for the synthesis of guanosine triphosphate. The final step in the process of events is lethal mutagenesis of the RNA genome. In vitro inhibition of RSV, influenza viruses and parainfluenza viruses is achieved at ribavirin concentrations of 3-10 mL. Ribavirin can be given by mouth intravenously or as an aerosol. In adults an oral dose of 600 mg slows peak plasma levels of 1.3 mL, and large dose of 1000 mg…
