Viruses are classified differently than living organisms, since they are not technically alive. In taxonomy, viruses are not assigned to a Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, or Order. The influenza viruses start, in most classification systems, at the level of the Family. They are in the Family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are a few newer classification systems that have been developed to better categorize and classify viruses, but these are not yet the standard.

The maximum antibody level after a flu vaccination varies among individuals. Generally, it peaks within a few weeks of vaccination and then gradually decreases over time. It is essential to get vaccinated annually to ensure adequate protection against seasonal flu strains.

Yes, but it usually only kills very young people, elderly people, and immunocompromised people. About 200 people per year (mostly elderly) die from norovirus in the United States. When you consider that about 23 million people are infected with norovirus in the U.S. each year, 200 deaths is not a whole lot. As long as people get adequate medical care (replacing fluids and maintaining electrolyte balances), the chances of dying from norovirus are extremely low.

The outer surface of the mask is considered contaminated after being worn, as it is the part that is exposed to potentially infectious droplets and particles in the environment. It is important to handle the mask by the ear loops or ties and avoid touching the outside surface to minimize the risk of spreading germs.

When you have a cold, the viruses in your body and on your skin will infect your cells and start to multiply rapidly, as viruses do inside the host. Now imagine all those virions (virus particles) on your hands (which are nearly impossible to avoid without washing them first) and you shake someone's hand. The viruses, that are not actually living organisms -- just "chemicals", can be rubbed onto the hand of the other person when you shake or hold hands. All the other person needs to do to become infected, too, is to rub their nose, mouth, or eyes which moves the virions from their own hand to where they can get inside the mucous tissue cells, and they will come down with a cold, too.

Washing your hands physically rubs and washes off the virus. The soap and water loosen the particles so they can be rinsed down the drain. See the related questions below for more information about spreading a cold.

This will depend upon the organism that caused the infection in the first place. In cats, most upper respiratory infections are viral in origin and they tend to be cleared out by a normal healthy cat within a week.

We sneeze when something irritates the inside of our nose. Say there's a lot of dust in the air. When you breathe in through your nose, the dust particles go inside along with the air. Once inside, they get caught in a sticky layer of mucus that lines the inside of your nose. Usually, tiny hairlike projections called cilia move this layer of mucus toward the back of your nose where it's eventually swallowed. But, if some of the dust bothers any of the sensitive nerves inside your nose, you suddenly feel a tickle inside your nose, triggering a sneeze. Immediately, your nose starts making more mucus, you take in a big breath of air, your eyes close, and your head tips back. Then, your lungs forcefully release the air, causing it to burst out of your mouth and nose. The sudden burst of air dislodges or completely removes the irritating particles in your nose, relieving the tickle and protecting your body from the possibly harmful particles.

Equine Influenza is a highly contageous viral disease of horses. It affects the respiratory system and can lead to secondary bacterial infections such as pneumonia due to the way it breaks down the defenses of the respiratory tract. Symptoms include: sudden onset of a high fever, coughing, nasal discharge that starts clear but may become colored if a secondary bacterial infection develops, mild swelling of the lymph nodes between the jaws. Influenza is a serious concern because of the risk of secondary bacterial pneumonia which may be fatal. Horses recovering from influenza should be rested for 1 week for every day that they have a fever due to the increased risk of secondary infections.
