It specifically reviews the properties and replication of influenza viruses; their evolution and emergence; epidemiology; role of migratory birds in disease transmission; clinical signs in humans, animals, and poultry; pathogenesis and pathogenicity; public health importance and potential threats; diagnosis; prevention and control measures; and pandemic preparedness. Influenza/flu viruses evolve continuously and jump species causing epidemics as well as pandemics in both human and animals. During the past 150 years, various strains of influenza virus like the Spanish flu, Asian flu, Hong Kong flu, bird flu, and swine flu were responsible for high mortality in humans as well as birds. High mutation rates, antigenic shifts, drifts, reassortment phenomena, and the development of antiviral drug resistance all contribute to ineffective chemotherapy and vaccines against influenza viruses. Due to their devastating nature, high zoonotic implications, and high mortality in humans and poultry, they have a severe impact on the socioeconomic status of countries. Disease awareness, rapid and accurate diagnosis, surveillance, strict biosecurity, timely adoption of appropriate preventive and control measures, and pandemic preparedness are crucial to help in decreasing virus transmission, thus reducing clinical cases, deaths, and pandemic threats. 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aVirology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aZoology 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aVirology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B22003 606 $aInfectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aZoology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25007 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aVirology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aZoology. 615 14$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aVirology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aZoology. 676 $a362.19695/9 676 $a579 676 $a590 676 $a610 700 $aKapoor$b Sanjay$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059394 702 $aDhama$b Kuldeep$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298316303321 996 $aInsight into Influenza Viruses of Animals and Humans$92505642 997 $aUNINA
