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.
How is Swine Flu related to bird flu?
Swine flu is caused by a new influenza virus that has genetic material from several different flu viruses that combined to form the new H1N1/09. The different types of flu involved in the development of the new virus are three types of swine flu (Asian, European, and American), avian "bird" flu, and human flu. Other than that relationship and that they are both influenza viruses, there is no other real relationship. Symptoms, mortality rates, and transmission are quite different between bird flu and swine flu.See the related question below for more informationon what caused this new type of flu.

Does the current Novel H1N1 Swine Flu contain elements of avian flu?
Yes. It does contain genetic material of Avian Flu in addition to three types of swine flu and also human flu viruses. (Avian flu is also called "Bird Flu"). When a virus mutates like this one did in pigs with five different genomes in the virus, it is called a quintuple reassortant (also known as reassortment) virus.The three types of swine flu genetic material in the A-H1N1/09 pandemic flu are American swine flu, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu.
What is the difference between hog flu and Swine Flu?
Usually, when called by these names, the two are both referring to the same flu that pigs get, although there is plenty of confusion caused by the use of the name swine flu as a generic name for all the different types of influenza A in humans and in animals that are in the subtype of H1N1. See the related question below for more information and clarification on the names of these types of flu.
Can flu cause conjunctivitis?
Yes, it is a definitive symptom in Avian Flu and a few other types of flu.
Is the Swine Flu the same as the tami flu?
Swine flu is a flu very similar to the regular flu. Tamiflu is a medicine that you take when you have swine flu or other types of influenza.
What types of flu create the Swine Flu?
A mixture of the standard Human Flu, Bird Flu and Pig Flu. This creates a new strain of flu called swine flu (Influenza A H1 N1).
Is there a new flu going around fall 2017?
Yes, and since the new flu that caused the pandemic in 2009 (H1N1/09 "Swine flu") there have been other new types identified (and even some new strains of avian flu have been identified) around the world. The viruses that cause the flu are mutating into new types of flu all the time. Cold viruses also mutate easily and quickly, this is a reason that vaccines can not be developed in time before they mutate again leaving the vaccine ineffective). Sometimes our immune systems have antibodies against older types of flu that will work to prevent the new types that are not that much different, but then other times the new influenza virus will have mutated into types for which our prior immunities will not be effective to prevent the new flu from making us ill. We will have to either get vaccines made as we did in 2009, or we will have to leave it to our bodies to make new antibodies that will block the new flu, but we will feel the symptoms of the flu in the interim.
