The "Z" symbol is used instead of the equivalent Cyrillic letter З (Ze) used in the Russian alphabet, which has been described as peculiar, considering the symbol's later association with Russian nationalism and pro-Putin politics.

It was caused by an H1N1 flu strain which highly resembled a virus strain circulating worldwide from 1946 to 1957. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Genetic analysis and several unusual characteristics of the 1977 Russian flu have prompted many researchers to say that the virus was released to the public through a laboratory accident, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 7 ...
Russia’s defense ministry has not explicitly commented on the use of the letter in its current context, but did post on Instagram last week that the pro-war symbol stems from the Russian phrase ...
Dr Terrence Tumpey examines a reconstructed version of the Spanish flu virus at the CDC. An effort to recreate the Spanish flu strain (a strain of influenza A subtype H1N1) was a collaboration among the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, the USDA ARS Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York
The sequences of the polymerase proteins (PA, PB1, and PB2) of the 1918 virus and subsequent human viruses differ by only 10 amino acids from the avian influenza viruses. Viruses with 7 of the 10 amino acids in the human influenza locations have already been identified in currently circulating H5N1 .
Some believe that the 1889–1890 Russian flu was caused by the influenzavirus A virus subtype H2N2, but the evidence is not conclusive. It is the earliest flu pandemic for which detailed records are available. [ 4 ]
The 1918 flu pandemic, commonly referred to as the Spanish flu, was a category 5 influenza pandemic caused by an unusually severe and deadly Influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1. The difference between the influenza mortality age-distributions of the 1918 epidemic and normal epidemics.
the 1918 flu pandemic where 500 million people worldwide were infected with H1N1 influenza A virus between 1918 and 1920, killing from 20 to 100 million people; the Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 which caused the influenza pandemic between 1918 and 1920, as well as the 2009 swine flu pandemic and 1977 Russian flu pandemic
