C'est à partir d'un prélèvement effectué en 1947 qu'a été isolé un virus de grippe d'un troisième type : la grippe C. Ses caractéristiques cliniques, virologiques et épidémiologiques sont assez différentes de celles des virus A et B. Une de ses principales particularités est l'absence à sa surface d'un des 2 types de glycoprotéine : le virus C ne possède pas de neuraminidase, ce qui laisse penser qu'il est probablement insensible à la nouvelle classe d'antigrippaux utilisée dans les grippes A et B. [...] Il est généralement admis que les infections dues au virus de la grippe C causent des syndromes grippaux peu sévères. 1, record 1, French, - grippe%20C
