Abstract
All over the world, different types of influenza viruses are responsible for seasonal pandemics annually. The influenza virus is responsible for 0.3-0.5 million deaths every year. Influenza A, B, and C are the three main types of influenza virus. Influenza A virus is the most infectious one among different types as it has the ability to change genetic shift and transfer from animal to human. Various synthetic drugs are prescribed for the treatment of influenza. But these drugs have their own drawbacks like the production of resistance and side effects. Hence remedies for influenza A can be obtained from nature. Different studies are carried over different plant extracts in the discovery of effective anti-influenza treatments. Various phytochemicals are being screened for effective and safe anti-influenza treatment. This chapter includes an overview of different plants and phytochemicals screened for anti-influenza A activity.
