Figure 1. Influenza a (IAV) and influenza B (IBV) virus infections of humans and animals (e.g. avian, swine, canine, feline, and other animal species) to cause seasonal (epidemic) human infections or occasional outbreaks (Spanish flu, Asian flu, Hong Kong flu, and swine flu) that were caused by the different subtypes of human IAVs. Almost all subtypes of IAV (H1-H16, N1-N9) have water birds as their natural hosts, with some IAVs (e.g. the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus HPAI H5N1) capable of infecting other animal species, such as large felids (tigers and leopards) and domestic dogs and cats, and farmed animals (chickens, turkeys, ducks, and mink) as well as humans with a high case fatality rate.
