You probably mean "What is Swine Influenza?". Influenza is another name for the flu. The Swine Influenza is a virus that causes respiratory flu in humans and can also infect pigs. It has "swine" in the name since it was originally a flu that only pigs (swine) got. It has mutated to a new form now and it is passing from human to human in the 2009 Pandemic.

Influence is a word that means something entirely different: having the power and control to, or an ability to, persuade other people to do the things you want (such as political influence, social influence, peer influence, parental influence, monetary influence, supervisor's influence, etc.).

On the lighter side:

"Swine influence" probably has to do with US political lobbyists.
