The Orthomyxoviruses (ορθός, ''orthos'', Greek for "straight"; μυξα, ''myxa'', Greek for "mucus")〔(International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses ) Index of Viruses — Orthomyxovirus (2006). In: ICTVdB—The Universal Virus Database, version 4. Büchen-Osmond, C (Ed), Columbia University, New York, USA.〕 are a family of RNA viruses that includes six genera: Influenza virus A, Influenza virus B, Influenza virus C, Isavirus, Thogotovirus and Quaranjavirus. The first three genera contain viruses that cause influenza in vertebrates, including birds (see also avian influenza), humans, and other mammals. Isaviruses infect salmon; the thogotoviruses are arboviruses, infecting vertebrates and invertebrates, such as ticks and mosquitoes. The three genera of Influenza virus, which are identified by antigenic differences in their nucleoprotein and matrix protein, infect vertebrates as follows: * Influenza virus A infects humans, other mammals, and birds, and causes all flu pandemics * Influenza virus B infects humans and seals * Influenza virus C infects humans, pigs, and dogs. == Classification == In a phylogenetic-based taxonomy, the category "RNA virus" includes the category "negative-sense ssRNA virus", which includes the Order "''Mononegavirales''", and the Family "''Orthomyxovirus''" (among others). The genera-associated species and serotypes of ''Orthomyxovirus'' are shown in the following table. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orthomyxoviridae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
