Swine influenza viruses in pigs can circulate throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur in the late autumn and winter months, similar outbreaks in humans. The classical swine influenza virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Like all influenza viruses, swine flu viruses are constantly changing. Pigs may by avian and human influenza viruses are infected, and swine influenza viruses. In influenza viruses from different species can infect pigs, the viruses reassort (eg swap genes) and new viruses, a mixture of swine, human and / or are avian influenza viruses can arise. Arisen over the years several variations of pig influenza viruses. At this time, there are four main influenza type A virus subtypes that have been isolated in pigs: H1N1, H1N2, H3N2 and H3N1. However, most of the newly isolated influenza viruses from pigs have been H1N1 viruses. The dangers of swine flu and avian influenza So protect yourself, family or business currently has a swine flu epidemic that originated in Mexico and will soon move all over the world. The virus is a swine influenza A (H1N1) known. The human swine flu epidemic continues to grow internationally. In response to the intensification of the outbreak, the World Health Organization, WHO global pandemic alert level to phase 5 A phase-4-notification will be confirmed by the marked person to person spread of a new influenza virus capable of Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human transmission of the virus in at least two countries in a WHO region. The declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time for the organization to enter into communication and the implementation of planned measures to reduce short. This would be the world’s first flu pandemic since 1968. There is no vaccine that could, after officials there six months or more to produce a vaccine. Even then quantities will be limited to.

So far over 400 people they have contracted, and more than 60 percent of them have died. It spreads in Africa, Asia and Europe. On 9 March 2006 estimated that the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff migratory birds could carry the avian flu virus in Canada and the U.S. Coast within a few months. Now there is a fear that the H1N1 virus, which spreads quickly and easily with the highly leathal H5N1 bird flu virus can be combined, and mutate into a highly contagious and deadly flu pandemic. The CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center, the agency responded to this new threat to the health and 26 April 2009 to coordinate the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano declared a public health emergency in the United States. Typical of a new virus like the H1N1 swine influenza, there is virtually no immunity to it and no vaccine. The alarming part about the H5N1 avian flu is that it kills the majority of people that they receive, even young healthy people with strong immune systems, while the normal seasonal influenza causes only mild respiratory symptoms in most people. Human-to-human spread of both the Swine Flu H1N1 andthe H5N1 virus has already occurred swine flu is spreading with alarming speed. According to the World Health Organization, the outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza are the largest and most severe on record. The virus has already mutated with limited human to human occurs in Indonesia. Health experts fear that as in previous pandemics, it will continue to mutate into a virus easily spread from person to die-to-person, into a deadly human pandemic with millions. Many scientists believe it is only a matter of time.

Dr. Nabarro said: with viral particles. This in turn causes a deadly outpouring of fluids into the lungs, which impedes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This reaction is often fatal. Pandemic, we do not want to have a vaccine if it can make a vaccine, expected to be too little, too late, there is no guarantee at all workplaces.
