The 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (formerly known as swine flu) first appeared in Mexico and the United States in March and April 2009 and has swept the globe with unprecedented speed as a result of airline travel. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization raised its pandemic level to the highest level, Phase 6, indicating widespread ...
Nov 26, 2013 · A fresh analysis finds that the death toll from the H1N1 swine flu in 2009-10 was severely underestimated. The Americas were hit much harder than Europe or Australia. And the deaths occurred in a ...
Jun 11, 2019 · View All 10 Slides. In the first year of the 2009 pandemic, between 151,700 and 575,400 people would die worldwide. At least 375 children died in the U.S., twice as many as in a typical flu season ...
In virology, influenza A virus subtype H1N1 ( A/H1N1) is a subtype of influenza A virus. Major outbreaks of H1N1 strains in humans include the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, the 1977 Russian flu pandemic and the 2009 swine flu pandemic. It is an orthomyxovirus that contains the glycoproteins hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), antigens whose ...
Jan 12, 2010 · 2009 H1N1 has been the least lethal of modern flu pandemics, with the death rate among infected persons likely between 0.026% and 0.048%. It could have been much worse. Perhaps, as H1N1 is the first such pandemic in decades, many will not find this an immediate concern. When the next flu pandemic breaks out, however, they too will hope that the ...

The crystal structure of the hemagglutinin from the A/California/04/2009 H1N1 virus shows that its antigenic structure, particularly within the Sa antigenic site, is extremely similar to those of human H1N1 viruses circulating early in the 20th century. The cocrystal ...
