Swine flu refers to the influenza caused by any strain of the flu virus that is endemic in pigs (swine). This flu is common in swine and rare in humans. Nevertheless, people with intense exposure to pigs are at risk of catching swine influenza, that is, if the swine carry a strain that has the potency to infect humans. Normally, these strains rarely pass from human to human. On the odd occasion, this virus undergoes mutations to form a new virus strain that is able to pass from human to another with relative ease. Therefore, it has been concluded that the strain that is responsible for the 2009 swine flu outbreak, has undergone such a mutation. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , ,
