Swine influenza (also called H1N1 flu, swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs.[2] As of 2009, the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide. Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always lead to human influenza, often resulting only in the production of antibodies in the blood. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine flu infection. The meat of an infected animal poses no risk of infection when properly cooked.

  • Interesting animation and data about the risk of spread. The physician who did it might be interested in watching more about H1N1 virus and at Symposier site he and other physicians may find interesting material.

  • X FILES!

  • we should kill humans ccuz humans are spreading the virus to the pig

  • Or not, hog flu, maybe man made flu, but silly blaming pigs all the time.
