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.
Influenza, or the flu, is an infectious disease. It is caused by the Flu Virus, also known as the RNA virus. Influenza is transmitted through coughs and sneezes, and is usually caught through the air, therefore is an airborne virus. (:
Technically, it is possible for the flu virus to be transmitted in this manner, so yes, you can catch a cold.
Yes flu is a virus
Pigs spread the original swine flu virus among themselves. The mutation, known as the 2009 Swine Flu (Influenza A, Novel H1N1 virus), that is now a human virus is spread by humans. It is a mutation of the swine flu and avian (bird flu) that has combined with a human virus.
West Nile Virus.
Avian Flu is caused by the virus like Flu virus in man. This virus has evolved with birds.

"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. The present H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.
No, the flu is caused by a virus.
The flu virus is pervasive in that it is a common virus which is spread from person to person generally in the cold months. There are several sub-categories of the flu virus, and the flu shot will usually contain 2 or three of these variations annually.
Flu is always caused a virus, not bacteria, so no flu epidemic will be due to a bacterial agent. This is true of the 1918 "Spanish Flu", it was caused by a virus.
