Current influenza strains circulating in Florida are primarily influenza A H3, with some 2009 H1N1
and influenza B. Other viruses known to be currently circulating, potentially causing influenza-like
illness, include adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza and RSV. RSV activity is currently elevated,
