1. Overview and Causes
 

Influenza is a highly infectious disease caused by the Influenza virus that affects the respiratory tract. There are three main strains of influenza virus, designated A, B and C. The viruses quickly produce new strains which is why an attack of one is unlikely to provide protection against a later bout of the disease. Influenza is most common during winter and spring seasons. However, It may occur during any season.
