The original Influenza Type A, H1N1 was a disease only in pigs, before a few people who worked very closely with the pigs started to get it.
The different and newer Pandemic A-H1N1/09 (2009 Swine Flu) has also been transmitted back to a pig from a human with H1N1/09, this worker at a pig farm was in very close contact with the hogs. Other mammals that have been known to have the pandemic flu are ferrets, cats, and dogs.
It is not yet proven by laboratory samples, but it is also believed that perhaps a bird could get Novel H1N1 from a person since it does contain components of genetic material from the Avian flu. This may have happened already among turkeys in Columbia, and is being investigated. There are significant concerns about the potential for a mutation of the Avian (bird) flu (which is very virulent), with the H1N1/09 Swine Flu, which is highly contagious. The combination of a highly contagious and virulent form of the flu this could create has epidemiologists monitoring very closely.
