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.
Are all influenza Type A viruses the Swine Flu?
No, the pandemic A-H1N1/09 "swine flu" is just one of many Type A influenza strains. It is also one of many H1N1 flu subtypes. Besides Type A influenzas, there are also influenza Types B and C in humans.
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.

No, thankfully it is not one of the threats to the beautiful and important coral reefs in our marine environments. Swine flu is a viral infection of the respiratory system in humans (and a few other non-marine animals) that is caused by a Type A influenza virus. Coral do not get influenza viruses like swine flu.
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.
Is type A Influenza the same as H1N1 Swine Flu?
Swine Flu (and other H1N1 flu viruses) is a Type A influenza, but all Type A influenza viruses are not swine flu, or other H1N1 viruses. Swine flu is just one of many subtypes of Type A influenza. Swine Flu is caused by the Type A H1N1/09 Virus.
What is the difference between Swine Flu and a malaria?
Swine flu (A-H1N1/09) is caused by a Type A Influenza virus. Malaria is a disease carried by mosquitoes that are infected by a microscopic parasite called a Eukaryotic Protist. When the infected mosquito bites a person, the disease can be transmitted. The main difference is that they are two different types of microscopic organisms that cause the diseases and they symptoms are quite different as well as the mode of infection.
What is the difference between polio type 1 2 and 3?

Swine, is a type of pig, so the flu came from a pig
