Swine Flu, Tests, New Type Of Swine Flu

Swine flu, easily overtakes other strains. Put swine flu in a room with other strains of influenza and it doesn't mix into a new super bug — it takes over. The animals who caught both kinds of flu, however, had worse symptoms. And they easily spread the new swine flu, what scientists formally call the 2009 H1N1 virus, to their uninfected ferret neighbors — but didn't spread regular winter flu strains nearly as easily. The new swine flu virus that has killed up to 159 people in Mexico and one Mexican baby in the United States remains tiny in scale compared to other global epidemics. An influenza pandemic can occur when a new influenza virus subtype emerges and spreads easily among human beings. An influenza pandemic can begin at any time of the year and any place in the world, and is expected to spread to the rest of the world within several weeks or months. A single wave of pandemic could last several weeks to a few months, but will likely vary from country to country and even by community. Most communities are expected to experience multiple waves of a pandemic. Increased hospitalizations, deaths and other effects are expected to vary widely among countries and communities. Vulnerable populations are expected to be affected more severely.
