"Swine Flu" is a viral infection of swine (pigs). There is evidence that this virus is the same that infected humans in the 1918 pandemic. It has been labeled the N1H1. There has been controversy that the flu now is a variant of this 1918 flu. We are not sure where it started: pigs or humans?
"Swine flu" H1N1 virus produces similar influenza-like illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue and some diarrhea and vomiting. The present H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.
