According to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 4 types of Influenza viruses, but only three infect humans (A, B & C). Influenza D infects cattle and is not known to infect people.

No, there are types of influenza viruses that many different groups of mammals can get infected by, as well as birds (such as the avian/bird flu).

Flu is caused by a pathogen (by viruses) but is not the pathogen itself, flu is the disease the pathogen causes. Flu is short for influenza which is an infectious disease of the respiratory system caused by influenza viruses.
No, they are different viruses and different types of viruses. Most common colds are caused by either the rhinoviruses or coronaviruses (but there are over 200 kinds of viruses that cause the common cold). Influenza is also caused by too many influenza viruses to name them all, but they are in the taxonomic family of viruses called orthomyxoviridae. Human influenza refers to one of the three major types of flu viruses ( Influenza types A,B, and C) that are endemic to the human population. If you mean the "stomach flu" (which is more appropriately called viral gastroenteritis), then it, too, is caused by different viruses; most common is norovirus (aka Norwalk Flu).
The causative organism of seasonal influenza is the influenza virus, specifically types A and B. These viruses are responsible for causing the flu, a contagious respiratory illness that can lead to symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches.
Influenza viruses, Types A, B, and C. The flu viruses are all in the viral family called Orthomyxoviridae.
They are different types of influenza viruses. Human "Swine flu" (H1N1/09) is caused by Type A viruses.
Examples include: - Influenza - HIV - Hep C
Fungi do not cause influenza. Viruses Cause influenza.
No, the pandemic A-H1N1/09 "swine flu" is just one of many Type A influenza strains. It is also one of many H1N1 flu subtypes. Besides Type A influenzas, there are also influenza Types B and C in humans.
Yes, viruses are responsible for influenza. That's why antibiotics don't help when you have the flu.
