No, injecting just the RNA of an influenza virus into a cell would not cause an active infection. While the viral RNA is essential for replication and protein synthesis, the cell also requires other viral components and proteins that are part of the complete virus for the infection process to initiate. Additionally, the host cell machinery needs to be hijacked by the entire virus to effectively produce new viral particles.

What are the examples of primary infections?

Primary infections are the initial infections caused by pathogens before any subsequent infections occur. Examples include influenza, where the influenza virus infects the respiratory tract, and chickenpox, caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Other examples are the first infection of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the primary HIV infection, where the virus first establishes itself in the body. Each of these infections typically represents the first encounter with the pathogen, leading to the development of the immune response.

What organisms carry Swine Flu?

Swine flu is not carried on organisms unless the organism is infected with the virus that causes the flu, which is typically over in 7 to 10 days. The organism responsible for the illness of swine influenza is the influenza virus itself. Organisms that are known to be susceptible to this type of infection are humans, pigs, birds and fowl, ferrets, and cats and dogs that are living closely indoors with their infected owners. One cheetah was known to have it during the 2009 H1N1/09 pandemic.
