Detailed explanation-1: -However, the 2009 H1N1 virus was not zoonotic swine flu because it was not transferred from pigs to humans. Instead, it spread through airborne droplets from human to human, and potentially, through human contact with inanimate objects contaminated with the virus and transferred to the eyes or nose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Currently circulating influenza A(H1N1) viruses are related to the pandemic 2009 H1N1 virus that emerged in the spring of 2009 and caused a flu pandemic (CDC 2009 H1N1 Flu website).
Detailed explanation-3: -H1N1 flu is caused by an influenza A virus. Because humans have no natural protection or immunity to the virus, they are likely to become ill. The H1N1 flu virus is made up of genes from flu viruses that normally cause influenza in pigs, birds, and humans. H1N1 flu virus is contagious.
Detailed explanation-4: -Swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to spread in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are transmitted mainly from person to person through exposure to coughing and/or sneezing of people with influenza illness.
