Swine flu, also known as 2009 H1N1 type A influenza, is a human malady. People get the malady from other people, not from pigs.
The disease initially was nicknamed swine flu because the virus that causes the disease came to humans from pigs. The virus contains genes from swine, bird, and human flu viruses. Scientists are still in dispute about what the virus should be called, but most people know it as the H1N1 swine flu virus.
