To escape this, influenza viruses have developed a special mechanism. ... The enzyme MTr1 provides cellular mRNA with a cap structure and thus functions as the cell's "nucleic acid labeler." ...

Influenza is a common respiratory virus that is categorized into four types: A, B, C and D. Type C only causes mild infections and type D is not believed to infect humans.
