It was the first virus to be discovered, and the first to be crystallised and its structure shown in detail. The first X-ray diffraction pictures of the crystallised virus were obtained by Bernal and Fankuchen in 1941. On the basis of her pictures, Rosalind Franklin discovered the full structure of the virus in 1955. [35]

This is a timeline of influenza, briefly describing major events such as outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, discoveries and developments of vaccines.In addition to specific year/period-related events, there is the seasonal flu that kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people every year and has claimed between 340 million and 1 billion human lives throughout history.
One way that viruses have been able to spread is with the evolution of virus transmission. The virus can find a new host through: [32] Droplet transmission: the virus is spread to a new host through bodily fluids (an example is the influenza virus) [33] Airborne transmission: the virus is passed on through the air (an example is viral ...

The virus primary cause fatal hepatitis and encephalitis. [22] Pneumonia-causing rat coronavirus (RCV) discovered in 1970, [23] and sialodacryoadenitis virus (SDAV), which infects nasal cavities, lungs, salivary glands and the Harderian gland in rats, discovered in 1972 [24] were found to be the same kind of hepatoencephalitis viruses.

In the 1960s, the first virus that could cause hepatitis was discovered. This was hepatitis B virus, which was named after the disease it causes. [220] Hepatitis A virus was discovered in 1974. [221] The discovery of hepatitis B virus and the invention of tests to detect it have radically changed many medical, and some cosmetic procedures.
