Human Influenza A (H1N1) virus and swine influenza in pigs: IFAH statement and Q&A A Flu/H1N1 pigs

The current outbreak of the human disease, first reported in Mexico, is caused by a reassorted influenza A virus, type H1N1, now known as the Influenza A (H1N1) virus. This virus is different from swine influenza viruses found in pigs, and it also contains genes from avian and human influenza viruses (http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/qa.htm).
