  1. Influenza By: Cole and Kanyon Tapp

  2. The Symptoms • The symptoms for influenza are more severe and occur faster than most. If you have influenza the symptoms usually occur all at once and not just a single symptom (Decoded Science, 2013). • Some of the symptoms are: • Fever • Headache • Sore Throat • Fatigue • Achy Muscles

  3. The Transmission • Influenza is transmitted in three ways: • By direct contact with infected individual. • By contact with contaminated objects. • By inhaling the viral-laden aerosols(virology, 2009).

  4. The Prevalence • Low Prevalence: below 5 % of the people are affected • Moderate Prevalence: around 20% of people are affected (CDC, 2013). • High Prevalence: around 40% of people are affected.

  5. The Prevention • The biggest prevention is getting a vaccine for it, which also isn’t 100% effective (Mayo Clinic, 2013). • Little things to help prevent: • Washing your hands • Containing your coughs and sneezing • Avoid big crowds

  6. The Treatment • Treatments can range in taking many medicines to just doing therapy. • Some treatments may target the virus itself or instead just relieve the symptoms.

  7. The Impact: Economic • The average cost that influenza has on United states is usually over $35,000,000 and that is excluding distributions to commerce and society. • Each vaccine averages around $60 and %60 percent of the United States citizens get the vaccine.

  8. The Impact: Social • Influenza accounts for around 10% of sickness-related absences from work around the world. • It is contagious, so you can’t do your normal daily activities that involve being around people.

  9. The Model Structure • Hemagglutinin Spike- It is responsible for binding the virus to the cell • Neurominidase Spike- it enables the virus to be released from the host cell. • Caspid Layer- it helps viruses enter through the cell.
