What is the difference between Type B flu viruses and the Swine Flu?
They are different types of influenza viruses. Human "Swine flu" (H1N1/09) is caused by Type A viruses.
Are the flu and Swine Flu the same?
No, Swine Flu is just one strain of the many flu viruses. Flu is an abbreviation for influenza. So Swine Flu is a type of flu, but all flu is not the swine flu, there are other kinds.
What is a H1N1 virus?
Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The "classical" swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Swine flu viruses cause illness in pigs, but the death rates are low. This new virus, although it is being called "swine flu," is not the same virus.

What type of virus is the H1N1 classified as?
It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.
Can coral die of Swine Flu?
No, thankfully it is not one of the threats to the beautiful and important coral reefs in our marine environments.

Swine influenza viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.

Is this the same Swine Flu of the 1970's?
No the A-H1N1/09 is a new strain of flu that has genetic material from three types of swine influenza viruses, avian flu virus and human flu virus. The "swine flu" in the mid 1970's was also an A-H1N1 influenza virus but quite a bit different than the pandemic strain.
