Swine Flu being a virus, it requires living cells to infect and reproduce within. Unless the body is freshly deceased (in which case some cells can still be functioning, despite the body as a whole having ceased so), then it cannot infect the dead.

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.

What infectious agent is involved in Swine Flu?

"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.
