Transmission+-+H1N1

Structure - H1N1


 * The virus was first spread from pig to human, making it a variant virus (a virus that can spread from animal to human)
 * The virus can be spread from pig to human, human to pig, and human to human
 * When the virus is spread from human to human it is spread the same way as the seasonal influenza virus; through coughing, sneezing or touching an infected surface then touching a mucus membrane
 * coughing and sneezing releases virus particles/droplets into the air that are then breathed in, passing the virus to others
 * the virus cannot be spread by eating pork products
