Many studies of this virus are underway in all the different countries of the world during the pandemic. The ministries of health at various governments, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are in the field studying as well as in the laboratory studying to find as much information as possible about this new virus. In addition, there are five drug manufacturers involved in studies and drug trials to work on creating a vaccine. There is information at the WHO and CDC web pages about the studies they have initiated. See links below in the related links section.

What is the study of flu called?
The H1N1 Influenza is a virus and scientists who study viruses are called virologists and microbiologists. Others involved in the study of the flu are epidemiologists, pathologists, pharmacologists, and immunologists.
What would H1N1 be called if it came back even more advanced?
The influenza viruses are identified by and given names that correspond with the proteins on the capsid of the virus (outside coating of the virus). For example, the two proteins on the H1N1/09 virus are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase, therefore the virus is called H1N1.The name of any mutations of the H1N1/09 influenza virus, would follow this same naming convention and it would be called by the name that is descriptive of the particular proteins it has on the capsid after the mutation.See the related question below for more information on the naming of influenza viruses.

What is the life cycle of H1N1 virus?
Lytic Cycle
How does a family practitioner identify the H1N1 virus as it differs from other flu viruses?
The family practitioner doesnt actually identify the H1N1 virus. If a local test shows up as positive, they send those results to a more specialized hospital to determine if that result is of the flu or the H1N1 virus.
