Basic information of the Influenza B Virus
Influenza B Virus is a type of virus that causes the flu, a respiratory illness that can range from mild to severe. It is one of three types of influenza viruses, with the other two being influenza A and influenza C. Influenza B virus is transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through contact with contaminated surfaces. Symptoms of the flu caused by influenza B virus include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. While vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu, antiviral medications can also be effective in treating it.

Influenza B virus is known to infect humans, pigs and seals. Among these three, seals are considered the most susceptible to influenza B virus. Influenza B virus infections have been reported in various species of seals, including harbor seals, grey seals, and harp seals.
