Since the late 19th century, there have been several major influenza pandemics, including the 1918 H1N1 pandemic, also known as the Spanish flu, which resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. The Asian flu pandemic in 1957, caused by H2N2, led to significant mortality, particularly among the elderly. The Hong Kong flu in 1968, caused by H3N2, also resulted in substantial fatalities. More recently, the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, often referred to as the Swine Flu, emerged and spread globally, though it generally had a lower mortality rate than earlier pandemics.

What is the causative organism of seasonal influenza?

The common cold is an upper respiratory tract infection of viral origin, usually caused by a rhinovirus (up to 40% of colds), or by Coronaviruses (about 20%). These are the more common viruses, but there are more than 200 different viruses (some say as many as 700) that can cause the common cold. There are a huge number of different viruses from a number of different viral 'families' that cause cold symptoms. This is the main reason there is no vaccine for the common cold - there are simply too many different viruses to develop vaccines specific to each virus, and before a vaccine can be developed for a new viral mutation, it can mutate again.
