Can you get Swine Flu from avain flu?
No you cant get it from avian flu directly, because swine flu is literally pig flu, so it originated from pigs, or so the name says. Same thing for avian flu, its, bird flu. S.o no, but you can get swine flu from birds, because flus can be carried from organisms to organisms. So, cutting it short, you can't get it from avian flu, but you can get it from a bird that has swine flu. A bit tedious but that's my answer.
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.
What flus are mixed to cause swine flu?
Tests have shown that it contains genetic material from Human, Avian, and Swine influenza viruses.
What is fatal bird flu or Swine Flu?
All types of flu can be fatal. But the Avian (bird) flu is more fatal, it kills 50 to 60% of those infected. Swine flu H1N1/09 has a mortality rate well below 1%.
Is the avian flu viral or bacterial?
Spanish flu is viral.
How many people have died from Avian Flu compared to Swine Flu?
A relatively low number of people have died from Avian flu. It is transmitted only from bird to human, not from person to person, unlike the Swine flu that is a very rapidly spreading virus from person to person with over 57 million cases in the US alone. The death rate for swine flu is below that of the seasonal flu. Although the number of cases of Avian flu in humans is low so far, the mortality rate from the H5N1 Avian flu is approximately 50%, it is an extremely deadly virus. Luckily so far the case numbers are still low, especially in the Western Hemisphere.
When Edward Cullen had the spanish inflienza is that like the Swine Flu and is ti coutagous?
The Spanish Influenza; is a flu in Spain I guess it could be like the Swine Flu... in a way that theree was no cure for the influenza epidemic but no, swine means pigs
Is this the same Swine Flu of the 1970's?
No the A-H1N1/09 is a new strain of flu that has genetic material from three types of swine influenza viruses, avian flu virus and human flu virus. The "swine flu" in the mid 1970's was also an A-H1N1 influenza virus but quite a bit different than the pandemic strain.
Why did god send this Swine Flu thing?
God didn't send swine flu, it mutated from strains of pig, avian and human flu. Also, it's hardly a plague on mankind. In the time since it came about, more people have died from normal human flu than swine flu.
What animal did the spanish flu come from?
Pigs spread the original swine flu virus among themselves. The mutation, known as the 2009 Swine Flu (Influenza A, Novel H1N1 virus), that is now a human virus is spread by humans. It is a mutation of the swine flu and avian (bird flu) that has combined with a human virus.
