Key Points

  • Swine flu, also called swine influenza, hog flu, or pig flu is a respiratory disease of pigs that is caused by an influenza virus.
  • The first flu virus isolated from pigs was influenza A H1N1 in 1930.
  • Since the 1930s three other subtypes of flu viruses also have been isolated from pigs, including H1N2, H3N1, and H3N2.
  • The emergence of H3N2 in pigs occurred in the late 1990s and is suspected of having been transmitted to pigs from humans.
  • Although swine influenza viruses are similar to the influenza viruses that circulate among humans, swine viruses possess distinct antigens.
  • Symptoms of swine flu in humans are similar to most influenza infections: fever (100 F or greater), cough, nasal secretions, fatigue, and headache. Hence, we can say that every individual in the population is equally susceptible host for Swine Flu. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
  • There are no specific drugs available for swine flu in pigs, and treatment is thus supportive. 
  • Antibiotics have no role in the primary treatment of Swine Flu. Four antiviral agents, zanamivir (Relenza), oseltamivir (Tamiflu), peramivir (Rapivab), and baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza), have been reported to help prevent or reduce the effects of swine flu if taken within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
  • Outbreaks of swine flu in pigs can be prevented through vaccination against the viruses.
  • Providing a clean and dry environment and keeping infected pigs separate from healthy pigs are essential approaches to controlling the disease. To prevent the future spread of Swine Flu in the epidemic area killings of pigs are not a good idea. Hence, statement 3 is Not correct.
