You see, the virus is in the back of our throats and in our noses and when we breathe out, viruses come out and the next person who's very close to us can breathe the virus in and then they will get infected. Another way to spread it is if we get it on our hands.

And we can do that if I touch myself and get the virus on my hands and then I touch someone else. So the virus is spread through close contact.

What infectious agent is involved in Swine Flu?

"Swine flu" is a viral infection of swine (pigs). There is evidence that this virus is the same that infected humans in the 1918 pandemic. It has been labeled the N1H1. There has been controversy that the flu now is a variant of this 1918 flu. We are not sure where it started: pigs or humans? "Swine flu" H1N1 virus produces similar influenza-like illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue and some diarrhea and vomiting.
