2009 flu pandemic
The 2009 flu pandemic, also referred to as swine flu, is a global outbreak of a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 identified in April 2009 which infects and is transmitted between humans. It is thought to be a mutation—more specifically, a reassortment—of four known strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1: one endemic in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine). A June 10, 2009 update by the U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO) states that "74 countries have officially reported 27,737 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection, including 141 deaths".
