The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine influenza" or H1N1 influenza A, refers to influenza A due to a new H1N1 strain called swine-origin influenza virus A (S-OIV). The new swine flu virus is actually a genetic mixture of two strains, both found in swine, of unknown origin. S-OIV can be transmitted from human to human and causes the normal symptoms of influenza. Prevention of swine influenza spread among humans includes use of standard infection control measures against influenza and constitutes the main scope of World Health Organization. For the treatment of S-OIV influenza oseltamivir and zanamivir are effective in most cases. Prophylaxis against this new flu strain is expected through a new vaccine, which is not available yet. Worldwide extension of S-OIV is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and indicates that response actions against S-OIV must be aggressive.
2009年在人类中爆发的流感，即“猪流感”或甲型H1N1流感，是指由一种名为甲型猪源流感病毒（S-OIV）的新型H1N1毒株引起的甲型流感。这种新型猪流感病毒实际上是两种毒株的基因混合物，这两种毒株均在猪身上发现，来源不明。S-OIV可在人际间传播，并引发流感的常见症状。预防猪流感在人群中传播包括采用针对流感的标准感染控制措施，这也是世界卫生组织的主要工作范畴。对于S-OIV流感的治疗，在大多数情况下，奥司他韦和扎那米韦是有效的。预计通过一种新疫苗来预防这种新型流感毒株，但目前该疫苗尚未问世。S-OIV在全球范围内的传播是即将发生大流行的强烈信号，表明针对S-OIV的应对行动必须积极有力。
