The influenza virus causes influenza. There are a number of different subtypes and many have caused pandemics. These subtypes are A, B and C. Type A causes human "flu". This virus mutates rapidly and the vaccine must change quickly as well.
A pathogen is anything that can produce disease or an infectious agent. A pathogen for influenza has a globular or spherical shape. Influenza is caused by a virus.

The infectious agent that causes influenza is the influenza virus. There are many different kinds of this virus, and they change every year or two, so just because you've had the flu once doesn't mean that you will be immune to influenza caused by a different strain of the virus.

It is the similar virus like flu virus that causes Swine Flu. Only thing that this virus has evolved in swine. It affects the human accidentally. Human to human spread is uncommon. ( A dental student stayed in the room of contributor for about a week. Contributor did not get the infection. Though no mask was used by him.) This virus has affinity for lower respiratory tract. So copious sputum comes out very frequently. Very large number of people die of common flu than swine flu. But people fear very much to swine flu and not common flu.
