  1. swine flu

    Swine flu is a respiratory disease in pigs caused by a particular type of influenza virus (H1N1 type A influenza virus) that has the capability of infecting humans. It's generally spread among pigs but can also be transmitted to people through contact with pigs or infected people. Symptoms are similar to those of regular flu and may include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. While the term "swine flu" originated due to the virus's similarity to influenza viruses that affect pigs, the current strain has been found to spread from person to person and not from animal contact.
