H1N1 virus is mentioned in the news with reference to swine flu. Swine flu, also known as influenza A (H1N1), is a respiratory disease caused by the H1N1 influenza virus. It is called swine flu because the virus was originally identified in pigs, but it can also infect humans. Swine flu can spread from person to person through respiratory droplets and can cause symptoms similar to those of seasonal flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue.
