To accomplish this goal, influenza A viruses (IAVs) utilize a combination of viral and cellular mechanisms to coordinate the transport of their proteins and the eight vRNA gene segments in and out of the cell. Influenza A viruses (IAVs) and type B viruses (IBVs) contain 8, negative-sense, single-stranded viral RNA (vRNA) gene segments ( Figure 1A ) (3, 4) , which encode transcripts for 10 essential viral proteins, as well as several strain-dependent accessory proteins ( Figure 1B) . In contrast to the early steps in IAV entry, vRNP trafficking to the nucleus following the fusion event is highly dependent on the host cell machinery and transport pathways [reviewed in Ref. ./cache/cord-003122-a3f4l6iu.txt ./txt/cord-003122-a3f4l6iu.txt
