I don't think it would be possible to find any real statistics of flu infections in 1818, but I am thinking you meant 1918, a year that there really was a flu pandemic. In 1918, an estimated amount of 500 million people worldwide were infected and 50-100 million of them were killed.
Spanish Influenza a.k.a the Black Death
Anywhere from 3000 to 47,000.
no
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).
Influenza is by enlarge air borne disease. But it can be transmitted in children by shaking hands with infected person. It can be transmitted by sharing food with infected person.
Humans are organisms which can become infected by the influenza virus.
No. Most viruses target certain cells. In the case of influenza A, some mammals (including humans) and some birds have been infected.
1818 ÷ 9 = 202
Chickens may become infected with the Avian Influenza or Bird Flu. Influenza A viruses can occur in humans, but it is very uncommon, according to the Center of Disease Control.
Influenza virus may be transmitted among humans in two ways: Ø by direct contact with infected individuals Ø by contact with contaminated objects (called fomites, such as toys, doorknobs)
For millions of people over the winter of 1918 to 1919, infection with the Spanish Flu was terminal or fatal - this was the largest pandemic of influenza on record, and is credited with helping to bring World War I to an end. However, not everyone who became infected with the Spanish Flu died of it, and there were millions of people who escaped being infected in the first place.
Influenza C viruses are also found in people. They are, however, milder than either type A or B. People generally do not become very ill from the influenza type C viruses. Type C flu viruses do not cause epidemics. Almost all adults have been infected with C but it just doesn't have the ability to cause epidemics and it doesn't fit the term epidemic.
