Swine flu is caused by influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks in pigs. The 2009 outbreak derived from human, avian, and swine influenza strains. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, coughing, and vomiting. Historical pandemics like the 1918 Spanish Flu killed millions. Homeopathic treatments were found to have much lower mortality rates compared to allopathic treatments during the 1918 flu pandemic. To reduce risk of infection, avoid contact with sick individuals and practice good hygiene. Remaining calm and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help boost immunity.

- Influenza is a highly infectious viral illness that causes annual epidemics and occasional pandemics, with the 1918 pandemic resulting in an estimated 21 million deaths worldwide.
- Influenza viruses are classified into types A, B, and C, with types A and B responsible for seasonal epidemics. Type A viruses can undergo antigenic shifts or drifts, resulting in pandemics or epidemics respectively.
- Influenza vaccination is recommended for many high-risk groups to reduce hospitalizations and deaths from influenza. Both inactivated and live attenuated vaccines are available, with inactivated vaccines recommended for young children, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.Influenza vaccines

Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. There are three main types of influenza viruses (A, B, C) with Type A causing the most severe illness. Influenza viruses are constantly evolving through antigenic drift and antigenic shift, allowing them to evade host immunity. Vaccines aim to induce antibodies against predicted circulating strains, but the viruses' evolution requires continuous surveillance and vaccine updates. Influenza poses a significant disease burden, with estimated annual deaths ranging from 3,000 to 48,000 in the US alone.LAIV in India - Should we use it? Sep 2014

Influenza types A and B are responsible for annual epidemics and can cause illness ranging from mild to severe or deadly. Each year, the WHO recommends updated influenza vaccine strains to protect against the viruses likely to circulate that season, based on global surveillance. Although the recommended strains remained the same from 2010-2012, annual vaccination is still recommended since immunity declines over time.Swine flu lecture dr. hussein abass 2009

This document discusses the accumulation of mutations in the human H1N1 influenza virus since 1918. It shows that the original H1N1 strain entered humans in 1889-1890 and reappeared several times until becoming extinct in the human population in the 1950s. However, derivatives continued circulating in humans and swine. The human strain was also believed to have gone extinct again in 2009. The document provides evidence that the continuous decline in H1N1's mortality rate over multiple generations is due to the natural genetic attenuation of the virus as a result of accumulating deleterious mutations over time.Influenza vaccine

Influenza viruses are enveloped viruses with segmented, single-stranded RNA genomes that cause influenza in humans and some animals. There are four main types of influenza viruses: A, B, C, and D. Types A and B cause seasonal epidemics in humans. Influenza A viruses bind to host cells using hemagglutinin and release from cells using neuraminidase. They replicate in the nucleus and bud from the cell surface. Seasonal epidemics are driven by antigenic drift, while pandemics arise through antigenic shift. Influenza spreads through respiratory droplets and causes fever, cough, and muscle aches. Diagnosis is through viral culture, rapid tests, or PCR. Vaccination and antivinfluenza virus

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans. The classical swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930.

Influenza is a serious public health problem that spreads easily and causes annual epidemics worldwide. There are three main types of influenza viruses - A, B, and C. Influenza A and B are included in seasonal flu vaccines. Signs of influenza include fever, cough, sore throat and body aches. High risk groups include young children, elderly adults, and those with underlying health conditions. Influenza spreads through respiratory droplets when infected people cough or sneeze. Vaccination is the most effective prevention method. Avian influenza primarily affects birds and can be mild or highly lethal depending on the strain. Some avian influenza viruses can infect humans but do not usually spread between people.Flu shots and health

Swine flu, also known as H1N1, is a respiratory disease in pigs caused by influenza viruses. In 2009, a new H1N1 strain caused a pandemic and spread rapidly worldwide. The first US case was reported in April 2009. H1N1 viruses contain genes from human, avian, and pig influenza viruses. At high risk of serious illness from H1N1 are those with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, young children, and older adults. To prevent spread, people should wash hands frequently, avoid contact with infected individuals, and use masks when sick. Treatment options include rest, hydration, and antiviral drugs like Tamiflu.Swine Flu In US and Mexico

- 4. What is Swine Flu / H1N1 Influenza? Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates in pigs.油Swine influenza油viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans.
- 5. The 2009 flu outbreak in humans is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that derives in part from human influenza, avian influenza, and two separate strains of swine influenza. The origins of this new strain are unknown. It passes with apparent ease from human to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation. The strain in most cases causes only mild symptoms and the infected person makes a full recovery without requiring medical attention and without the use of antiviral medicines.
- 6. The most significant flu pandemic occurred in油1918/1919. The global mortality rate from the 1918/1919 pandemic is not known, but is estimated at 2.5 to 5% of those who were infected died. With 20% or more of the world population suffering from the disease to some extent, a case-fatality ratio this high would mean that about 0.5-1% or 50 million to 100 million people worldwide were killed. In油1957, an Asian flu pandemic infected some 45 million
- 7. Americans and killed 70,000. Eleven years later, lasting from1968 to 1969, the Hong Kong flu pandemic afflicted 50 million Americans and caused 33,000 deaths, costing approximately $3.9 billion. In油1976, about 500 soldiers became infected with swine flu over a period of a few weeks. The scare and panic about the bird flu and swine flu have occurred because people now know what a simple flu can lead to and are afraid of the consequences - not just to the human capital but also to the global financial health.

- 15. about the use of homeopathy in the flu epidemic. Dr. T A McCann, from Dayton, Ohio, reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. This last figure was supported by Dean W.A. Pearson of Philadelphia (Hahnemann College) who collected 26,795 cases of flu treated with homeopathy with the above result.
- 16. The most common remedy used was Gelsemium, with occasional cases needing Bryonia and Eupatorium reported. Dr. Herbert A. Roberts from Derby, CT, said that 30 physicians in Connecticut responded to his request for data. They reported 6,602 cases with 55 deaths, which is less than 1%. Dr. Roberts was working as a physician on a troop ship during WWI. He had 81 cases of flu on the way over to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment. One ship lost 31
- 18. * Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. * Try to avoid close contact with sick people. * Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people. * If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
- 19. Don't get stressed by the fear of getting the swine flu. Stress can undermine your immune system. The flu doesn't kill everyone and in most cases may prove benign. Mild exercise, meditation or yoga and healthy nutritious diet can help keep your immune system in good condition and able to ward of any infections. Not every 'infection' becomes a full blown 'disease'. Most infections are taken care of by your body even before you know that you were infected. Most infections affect gravely those people who are vitally deranged. So instead of panicking about the flu, stay calm and focus on becoming a healthy 'you'.
