The swine influenza virus currently called 2009 Swine Flu, influenza A (H1N1), is actually an influenza virus that is a combination of a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that derives from one strain of human influenza, one strain of avian (bird) influenza, and two separate strains of swine influenza. The origins of this new strain are unknown at this time.

It is very rare for a human to catch swine flu from a pig. The human has to be around infected swine on a regular basis. The virus passes from pig to human. There have been different varieties or strains of swine flu through the years. Viruses mutate when they reproduce. Currently there is a vaccination to prevent swine flu in pigs but not in humans.

Swine flu was first diagnosed in pigs in 1930. Almost 50 years later in 1976, a little over 200 soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey, came down with swine flu. From that time until 2005 there were few cases reported, less than one per year. From 2005 through January 2009 there were only 12 cases reported.

What's scary about the 2009 Swine Flu influenza A (H1N1) is that Swine Flu seems to have a higher fatality rate with younger healthier individuals contrary to annual flu which affects older people.

Usually influenza is a danger to the very young, the old, and those in poor health. Deaths for this flu include seemingly young and healthy adults. This has concerned health professionals.

It seems this flu strain is not nearly as virulent as the avian flu, which has a fatality rate of over 50%. It has not reached the levels of the Spanish Flu of 1918 which killed 50 million people worldwide.
