Not true regarding influenza virus is-
Correct Answer: All types exhibit antigenic shift
Description: The influenza A virus is unique among the viruses because it is frequently subject to antigenic variation, both major and minor. When there is a sudden complete or major change, it is called a shift, and when the antigenic change is gradual over a period of time, it is called a drift . Antigenic shift results from genetic recombination. Antigenic drift involves point mutation. Ref:PARK&;S TEXTBOOK OF PREVENTIVE AND SOCIAL MEDICINE 23rd edition , Page :154
