2009 is the year of Swine Flu globally. It is more prevalent in humans due to the emergence of Influenza A virus Subtype H1N1 that contains genes which are closely related to swine influenza. Swine Influenza is also known as Pig flu, Swine Flu and hog flu.

The transmission of Swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not usual and does not cause human influenza which further results in the production of antibodies in blood. It is always not necessary that this influenza is only cause through pigs. Swine Flu is highly contagious and it can be transmitted from human to human and further results in normal influenza. Chill, fever, sore throat, muscle pain, headache coughing, weakness and general comfort are all symptoms of Influenza.

Swine Flu is not transmitted through Pork when properly cooked. However for the people who work with pigs, they have high risk of getting Swine Flu.
Swine Flu can be taken care in animals by giving them proper vaccination and taking good care of them. Antibiotics are used against animals for treating Swine Influenza, which by no means will cure Swine Influenza but will help in Treating Bacterial pneumonia and other secondary infections.
