Influenzavirus
Influenzavirus refers to a genus of RNA viruses within the family Orthomyxoviridae, known to cause influenza in vertebrates.
Four main types:
Influenza A virus (Alphainfluenzavirus): Most common in humans and animals, known for causing pandemics and seasonal flu due to its high mutation rate and antigenic shifts.
Influenza B virus (Betainfluenzavirus): Primarily affects humans and is typically responsible for seasonal flu outbreaks. It evolves more slowly than Influenza A, resulting in less frequent need for vaccine updates.
Influenza C virus (Gammainfluenzavirus): Infects humans and animals but generally causes milder disease than A or B viruses and is less common.
Influenza D virus (Deltainfluenzavirus): Mainly infects cattle and is not known to infect or cause illness in humans.
Barcodeing technique
Basic Concept: Barcoding technique is a method of using a standard DNA/RNA sequence from within an organism to identify and classify species.
Application Areas: Rapid Species Identification, Food Safety Regulation, Combating Illegal Wildlife Trade, Pathogen Recognition.
Technical Advantages: Barcoding technique is more accurate and efficient than traditional morphological species identification methods. It is capable of identifying organisms with indistinct morphological features, or in juvenile stages, and can even identify species from mixed samples.
Future Prospects: Barcoding technique is set to become faster and more cost-effective, extending into new areas such as environmental monitoring and food traceability, significantly enhancing precise biodiversity conservation.
