No one person is credited with discovering this new flu virus in 2009. It was a joint effort by scientists in Mexico, the US and the World Health Organization. The US CDC investigated the virus and determined it was a new strain that was causing it. They also were the ones to isolate the new virus and grow cultures in the laboratory to use as the seed stock to create the vaccines. The CDC has scientists from many disciplines working to discover and find solutions for new Infectious Diseases. They go to the site and work to discover what known or new microorganisms are involved. Epidemiologists, microbiologists, doctors, virologists and infectious disease specialists were among the groups who rapidly identified what was causing the spreading illness in Mexico.
