The H1N1 virus, referred to as “swine flu,” is a relatively new influenza virus that is causing illness in humans around the globe. It was first detected in the United States in the spring of 2009 and was initially thought to be similar to a virus occurring in pigs in North America (hence the name swine flu); but further study has shown that the H1N1 virus is very different from what normally circulates among North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses normally found in pigs in Europe and Asia, but it also has avian genes and human genes; in other words, it is a “mixed-bag” virus, referred to as a “quadruple reassortant” virus. The new term for swine flu, novel H1N1 is 2009 Influenza A (H1N1).
