SWINE FLU
What’s the hottest topic around at the moment? Swine Flu!!! Here’s some information to help you deal with this deadly virus:
REAL LIVE MEDICAL INFORMATION:
Flu is categorised into a number of different types, ie flu A, flu B & flu C. Flu A is the bird form (humans also have a flu A). Then we further categorise it according to the surface molecules, the H (for Haemagglutinin) and the N on the surface.
This new strain, what we’re calling “swine flu” is a H1N1 virus, which we know circulates in humans, pigs and birds. We’re guessing that initially a pig got some of its flu from a bird and then co-mixed that with the human form to produce this hybrid, which is why there are elements of all three.
