About Swine Flu
The H1N1 viral strain implicated in the 2009 flu pandemic among humans often is called "swine flu" because initial testing showed many of the genes in the virus were similar to influenza viruses normally occurring in North American swine. According to the Centers for Disease Control in humans the symptoms of the 2009 "swine flu" H1N1 virus are similar to those of flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and tiredness.
