2. ABOUT THE DISEASE
• Swine flu (swine influenza) is a respiratory disease caused by viruses (influenza viruses) that infect the
respiratory tract of pigs, resulting in nasal secretions, a barking cough, decreased appetite, and
listless behavior. Swine flu produces most of the same symptoms in pigs as human flu produces in
people. Swine flu can last about one to two weeks in pigs that survive. Swine influenza virus was first
isolated from pigs in 1930 in the U.S. and has been recognized by pork producers and veterinarians to
cause infections in pigs worldwide. In a number of instances, people have developed the swine flu
infection when they are closely associated with pigs (for example, farmers, pork processors), and
likewise, pig populations have occasionally been infected with the human flu infection. In most
instances, the cross-species infections (swine virus to man; human flu virus to pigs) have remained in
local areas and have not caused national or worldwide infections in either pigs or humans.
Unfortunately, this cross-species situation with influenza viruses has had the potential to change.
Investigators decided the 2009 so-called "swine flu" strain, first seen in Mexico, should be termed
novel H1N1 flu since it was mainly found infecting people and exhibits two main surface antigens, H1
(hemagglutinin type 1) and N1 (neuraminidase type1). The eight RNA strands from novel H1N1 flu
have one strand derived from human flu strains, two from avian (bird) strains, and five from swine
strains.

3. HOW IS IT TRANSMITTED ?
• Swine flu is transmitted from person to person by inhalation or ingestion of
droplets containing virus from people sneezing or coughing; it is not
transmitted by eating cooked pork products. The newest swine flu virus that
has caused swine flu is influenza A H3N2v (commonly termed H3N2v) that
began as an outbreak in 2011. The "v" in the name means the virus is a
variant that normally infects only pigs but has begun to infect humans.
There have been small outbreaks of H1N1 since the pandemic; a recent one
is in India where at least eight hundred and forty one people have died. It is
transmitted mainly through animals-birds like pigs, sparrows etc.

6. MEDICINES FOR SWINE FLU
• In allopathic and homeopathic medicines, not much effective treatment is given. Only two general
medicines named Tamiflu and Relenza.
• In Ayurveda, some preventive treatments are given –
• Take a cotton cloth and put in it some camphor(piece),cardamom and cloves(powdered).Tie it to your
wrist and take its smell after every 1-2 hours. What it does is that the sharp smell of camphor and
cardamoms and cloves makes a hypertension in brain which makes it to supply blood fast in the body
and thus raise body’s temperature which helps to kill the virus and also make the body immune to it.
