Best Answer

Viruses are classified differently than living organisms, since they are not technically alive. In taxonomy, viruses are not assigned to a Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, or Order. The influenza viruses start, in most classification systems, at the level of the Family. They are in the Family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are a few newer classification systems that have been developed to better categorize and classify viruses, but these are not yet the standard.

Which kingdom is H1N1 in?

It has not been assigned to a Kingdom in the standard taxonomic classification system. Currently the taxonomy of viruses is less defined that of other and living organisms. Since viruses are really not living organisms, they do not have a Kingdom assigned. Ordinarily (except for viruses) the hierarchy is: Life Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species For viruses the hierarchy and classification usually begins at the Family level and continues down to the Serotype or subtype and strain, however, there are many different methods of classification with some more specific and some much less specific. A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Influenza "Swine Flu of 2009" (an RNA virus genome) Kingdom: Unassigned Phylum: Unassigned Class: Unassigned Virus Groups (I - Vl): in some classification systems Influenza viruses fall in Group V, in other systems they are unassigned Order: -virales or unassigned Family: Viridae/Orthomyxoviridae Genus: Influenzavirus A Species: Influenza A virus Serotype/Subtype: H1N1 Strain: A-H1N1/09-like virus
