   One day I’m going to find out what the H and N numbers are in flu viruses, and whether it is just the A versions that have them. I know there are also influenza B and influenza D but we really don’t hear much about them. I don’t think they mutate as quickly as the A versions do.

     >Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on two proteins on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). There are 18 different hemagglutinin subtypes and 11 different neuraminidase subtypes (H1 through H18 and N1 through N11, respectively).
