  • It turns out that this 2009 H one N one began circulating in pigs in 1918.

  • At the same time, the 1918 influenza virus outbreak was occurring in humans.

  • But because these two viruses were in different hosts, they evolved differently, so they both have a common ancestor, going back to 1918.

  • But because that swine H one N.

  • One was in pigs, it evolved differently from human H one n.

  • One.

  • And now that swine H one N one is basically a new virus to humans and pre existing immunity.

  • We have two seasonal each one and one doesn't really protect the significant from it.

  • Whales and seals both carry particular strains of influenza.

  • Horses carry influence of our strains on dhe.

  • Recently, dogs have become a significant source of influenza virus infection.

  • News lends a virus particle is roughly round in shape.

  • It has a couple of protrusions coming off of it in two different shapes, one that's more of a spike and one I'm more of a propeller shaped in the H spike is used to enter a cell, and the other the end spike that we always refer to is used to actually get away from myself anywhere.

  • From 9 to 12 hours later, the surface of that cell starts to form little bubbles, and those bubbles are new virus particles coming off for about 3 to 4 hours.

  • That cell will be able to make infectious virus particles, and it can make anywhere from 10,000 to nearly a 1,000,000 virus particles, depending on the cell type.

  • So if you're immune to infection with influenza, that means that you had antibodies that will bind to the virus particle and keep that virus particle from interacting with the self.
