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.
Does vaccination for flu cover you for all flu?
No. Each year for the US, the CDC has epidemiologists who study the flu viruses in other parts of the world and pick the three most likely to be causing illness in our part of the world in the next flu season. Those three are then made into vaccines to include in the "regular" flu shot. It is called a trivalent vaccine, because it contains three types of flu vaccines. Usually they predict very well in choosing the right viruses to use in the vaccines, but sometimes something totally unexpected comes along from a rapid mutation that is not in the vaccine (like with the 2009 Pandemic swine flu).

Is Swine Flu part of biology?
Yes, sort of. Swine flu is a disease that is caused by a virus, so in the Biology sciences, the study of flu would be called Virology. It is a subset of the Microbiologysciences. The study of the Swine Flu also involves other scientific disciplines, such as:* Epidemiology, the study of epidemics applies since Swine flu was an epidemic that has now turned into a pandemic, and Epidemiologists track and study the spread of the flu. * Immunology is the area of science involved in studying vaccinations and the way to utilize the body's immunological system to fight the A-H1N1/09 virus.* Pharmacology is the branch of science that deals with creation and distribution of medications to treat the flu, such as antiviral medications like Tamiflu.* Pathology doctors run the laboratories and supervise the testing for confirmation of the strain of influenza involved with an illness suspected to be due to the flu, they may also do post mortem exams on people who die from the flu.* Pulmonology physicians would likely be involved in treating hospitalized patients with severe symptoms involving the lungs from Swine Flu.Many other disciplines could also be named, but these listed should give you an idea of the various practitioners and scientists from different areas of the Biological Sciences who would take part in work involved in fighting a Swine Flu or other influenza epidemic or pandemic.
