The different types of flu viruses include influenza A, B and C. Influenza A is the most common type of flu virus and can be further divided into subtypes based on the surface proteins of the virus. Influenza B viruses are less common than influenza A viruses, but more virulent. Influenza C viruses cause milder illnesses and are rarely detected in humans.
