Who discovered orthomyxoviridae?

Answer 1

The family Orthomyxoviridae, which includes influenza viruses, was first identified in the early 1930s. The discovery is attributed to scientists including Richard Shope, who isolated the influenza virus from pigs in 1931, and later researchers such as George Beadle and others who contributed to understanding its structure and classification. The term "Orthomyxoviridae" itself was established in the 1970s as part of a broader effort to classify viruses.
