H1N1

Introduction

Starting in April, 2009, a wide-spread epidemic infected the world’s population and perhaps even more so, infected the media. H1N1 Influenza A virus, or better known as swine flu, made nearly 22,000 people ill and killed 125 of them by August, 2009. In all, by that time, the virus had spread through 69 countries and/or regions of the world (starting in Mexico). This specific strain of influenza is particularly concerning due to its uncommon ability to be passed from human to human (unlike most swine and avian A influenzas). While examining the mechanisms and characterization of the virus is important, incorporating these findings with the evolutionary capabilities and mutability of H1N1 novel influenza A represent an optimal way of examining the virus and potentially using this information to develop a cure for infected hosts.
