Influenza C viruses are different in comparison to influenza A and B.

The
enveloped virions have hexagonal structures on the surface and form stretched
cordlike structures (approximately 500 microns in length) as they bud from the
cell. Analogous to the influenza A and B viruses, the core of influenza C viruses is
composed of a ribonucleoprotein made up of viral RNA and four proteins.
The M1 protein lies just beneath the membrane, similar to influenza A and B
virions. A minor viral envelope protein is CM2, which has a function of an ion
channel. This virus does not contain separate HA and NA glycoproteins, yet their
function is consolidated in one glycoprotein called HEF (hemagglutinin-esterasefusion). Therefore the influenza virion contains 7 RNA segments, and not 8.
Influenza type C infections cause a mild respiratory illness (comparable to other
common respiratory viruses) and are not thought to cause epidemics. According to
the seroprevalence studies, nearly all adults have been infected with influenza C
virus. Lower respiratory tract complications are rare, and vaccine against it is not
available.
