Question: What’s the difference between the seasonal flu that occurs every winter and this new H1N1 flu virus?
Answers:
Seasonal flu comes back in slightly different forms each year. But the H1N1 2009 is an entirely new combination of four genetic elements: a bird flu, some human flu genes and two types of swine flu. The H1N1 2009 virus, which has spread worldwide, was surprisingly robust during the spring and summer months. Right now, about 90 percent of the circulating flu is H1N1, although seasonal flu, which typically peaks in winter, has also been detected.
Mainly species difference and severity of the disease. Mode of spread mainly aerial. Host animal in H1N1 is swine (Pigs).
