2. Type A Flu
Type A flu is the most common variety of the disease. It is very contagious and is often transmitted when somebody comes into contact with a contaminated surface. As well as being able to infect humans, type A flu is also able to infect other species, including pigs, bats, and birds.
Type A flu is constantly evolving which makes it harder to defeat, and it is also sometimes responsible for epidemics. Another key characteristic of the virus is that it will sometimes cross between different species. There is often the need to be vigilant to prevent a serious strain of the flu from being able to cause a serious pandemic.
