Pandemic – Surviving The New Killer Virus.
SWINE FLU is an infectious respiratory disease caused by a type A influenza virus.
Swine flu normally occurs in pigs, where it circulates year round with a peak of activity in Autumn and Winter. Although pigs can pass the virus to humans, human-to-human transmission has never been reported. Yet, swine flu has already infected more than 414,000 people and caused nearly 5,000 deaths, worldwide, which clearly shows that it can spread among people.
