The H1N1 virus, also known as Swine Flu, was the top medical story of 2009. In March, the virus caught the attention of health officials in Mexico when cases of a flu-like illness were reported in the state of Veracruz. The transmission of the virus was so rapid that by mid-June the World Health Organization declared the first flu pandemic in more than four decades.
