             symptoms such as myalgia, fever, severe malaise, headache, nonproductive
             cough, rhinitis and sore throat. The CDC also reports that the symptoms
             for influenza in children include vomiting, nausea and otitis media. The
             virus is usually resolved in a few days for most people that are infected.
             However, for people that have preexisting conditions such as cardiac
             disease the illness may be prolonged and may also cause bacterial
             The National Institute of Allergy and infectious disease, assert that
             Influenza A can be found in pigs, whales, ducks and humans. (Background:
             What We Know about the Flu) On the other hand, influenza B is most
             commonly found in humans. (Background: What We Know about the Flu)
             Influenza C is found in pigs, dogs and humans. (Background: What We Know
             According to The National Institute of Allergy and infectious
             disease, the influenza virus has a round rough shape. (Background: What We
             Know about the Flu) The structure of the virus is composed of eight
             sections of single-strand RNA, which holds the genetic information needed
             to make new copies of the influenza virus. (Background: What We Know about
             the Flu) The influenza virus has a layer of spikes projecting from the
             surface. Background: What We Know about the Flu) The spikes that are
             projected are the two proteins that were mentioned earlier in the report;
             hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. (Background: What We Know about the Flu)
             The hemagglutinin permits the influenza virus to stick to a cell and
             instigate infection. (Background: What We Know about the Flu) The
             neuraminidase allows the newly formed viruses to leave the host cell.
             (Background: What We Know about the Flu) An article in the American
             Scientist explains the role of the proteins best by explaining that
             "HA's job is to attach the influenza virus to the siailic acid
             receptors on the surface of the hum...
