Swine influenza A (H1N1)
Seasonal flu vaccines carry an H1N1 component, an H3N2 strain and an influenza B strain. The H1N1 component is not the Novel H1N1 strain that is in the swine flu vaccine
It stands for Influenza A H1N1.
yep, influenza does not discriminate
Yes, it is the Influenza caused by the Type A H1N1/09 virus.
No, the pandemic A-H1N1/09 "swine flu" is just one of many Type A influenza strains. It is also one of many H1N1 flu subtypes. Besides Type A influenzas, there are also influenza Types B and C in humans.
Influenza A virus subtype H1N1
It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.
H1N1 refers to a subtype of the influenza virus, not a bacteria. Influenza viruses can cause respiratory illness in humans and animals. It is important to note that viruses and bacteria are different types of microorganisms that can cause different types of infections.
NO!!!! penicillin, and all other anti-biotics are NOT affective against viruses, of which H1N1, and regular influenza are.
Yes. There is no longer a waiting period between when you get any influenza shot, including H1N1, and when you can give blood.
H1N1 is a grouping of viruses that are subtypes of the Type A Influenza viruses. There are three types of influenza viruses that people get: Type A, Type B, and Type C. The type A H1N1 subtype of viruses are the most common cause of flu in humans (around half of all flu cases in 2006, for example). Some strains of H1N1 are also found to cause disease in other animals such as birds and pigs. The H1N1 subtype has been responsible for some major flu pandemics in recent history, for example, the post-World War 1 Spanish flu in 1918 and the 2009 swine flu pandemic (A-H1N1/09) were both due to Type A H1N1 virus subtypes.See related question below for more information about the virus that caused the 2009 Pandemic: Novel H1N1 Swine Flu also known as A-H1N1/09 virus.
