The viral proteins and the RNA are depicted in violet and reddish tones.The human cell proteins are in blue. The virus takes the human cell membrane as an envelope. On its surface: hemagglutinin, neuraminidase and the M2 ion channel. M1 proteins build a capsid that encloses the ribonucleoprotein particles with the viral genetic information. Each particle has RNA polymerase (orange).
