What is A(H1N1)A(H1N1) ???

Influenza A (H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenza virus A and

the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans and cause a small

fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all

seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all

human flu infections in 2006. Other strains of H1N1 are

endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avianinfluenza).

World Health Organization declared that flu due to a new strain of

swine-origin H1N1 was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. This

strain is often called "swine flu" by the public media.

The current outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in Mexico and some parts

of the United States is the result of the introduction of a human-engineeredpathogen that has resulted in a widespread global pandemic, with

potentially catastrophic consequences for domestic and international travel

and commerce.
