New virus gets official name, influenza D
------------------------------------
It's official. The executive committee of the International Committee
of Taxonomy of Viruses approved naming a new virus, influenza D, as
the South Dakota State University [SDSU] researchers who discovered it
proposed, according to professor Feng Li. The committee officially
announced a new genus, Orthomyxoviridae [Orthomyxoviridae is a family
name - Mod.TG], with a single species, influenza D virus, because of
its distinctness from other influenza types -- A, B and C.

Though SDSU alumnus Ben Hause isolated the virus from a diseased pig
in 2011, he later found that cattle were the primary reservoir for
influenza D. Hause identified and characterized the new virus as part
of his doctoral research under Li's tutelage.

This is the 1st influenza virus identified in cattle, Li explained.
"This contribution was made in South Dakota and our theory has been
confirmed independently by other research groups."

Dr Winkle Weinberg, an infectious diseases expert, reckons that when we have a cold and cough the virus particles can travel at 320 kilometres an hour and up to 900 metres. That is faster than a passenger jet at takeoff!
