Subtitle: Medical Name for Swine Flu

Swine flu, also known as swine influenza, is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that usually cause outbreaks in pigs. Swine flu can also be transmitted to humans, and is usually referred to as a zoonotic disease. The medical name for swine flu is Influenza A virus subtype H1N1. This virus is highly contagious among pigs, and has been known to cause outbreaks in humans as well.

The symptoms of swine flu in humans are similar to those of other types of influenza, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. In some cases, swine flu can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure. It is important to note that swine flu does not typically spread directly from person to person, but can be transmitted through contact with an infected pig or contaminated surfaces.

In 2009, an outbreak of swine flu occurred in Mexico and the United States, and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Since then, the virus has spread to other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and Africa. A vaccine is available to prevent infection, and antiviral medications can be used to treat the illness.
