H1N1 is a 'flu virus, the routes of infection include,
1) Airborne droplets produced from sneezes for example: being breathed in by yourself.
2) Touching a surface or person's hand where the viruses are alive and then placing these viruses in your mouth, eye, etc.

What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?

It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.

Is swine flu H1N1 an antigenic shift or drift?

Swine flu H1N1 is considered an antigenic shift, as it resulted from a reassortment of genetic material from different influenza virus strains in animals. This led to the emergence of a new subtype that can infect humans.


What Carries H1N1?

There are different influenza viruses that fall into the category of H1N1. The original H1N1 was literally the swine flu, a disease of the pig. Mutations of this have resulted in slightly different viruses that are carried by (i.e., able to infect) other animals as well, e.g., H1N1/09, the pandemic novel swine flu of 2009. There are no real "carriers" of influenza (people/animals who have the virus and spread it but don't have the manifestation of infection themselves). If you become infected with influenza, you will be infected and not a "carrier". Besides pigs, the most common reservoir of Type A H1N1 viruses are birds, especially water birds. But, as we learned in the 2009 pandemic, people, cats, dogs, ferrets, poultry, pigs, birds, and several other types of animals are capable of having an infection by some of the H1N1 flu viruses.

How does H1N1 cells reproduce?

H1N1 virus replicates by entering human respiratory cells, hijacking the cell's machinery to make copies of its own genetic material and proteins. These new viral components are then assembled into new viruses, which are released from the host cell to infect other cells and continue the cycle of infection.


If you have had H1N1 do you still need to get the shot?

If the correct test was done to confirm the H1N1, then, no there is no need to take it again. But if you are not absolutely sure that the test confirmed the A-H1N1/09 flu, then it will do no harm to take the vaccine. The only test that can be relied upon to be an absolute indicator of the vaccination is the RT-PCR test, and not the rapid tests done in the doctor's offices. you should have some immunity against 2009 H1N1 flu and can choose not to get the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.
