Abstract

The 2009 flu pandemic was an outbreak of a new strain of H1N1 influenza virus, usually referred to as flu. The virus appeared to be a new strain of H1N1 which resulted when a previous triple reassortment of bird, swine and human flu viruses further combined with a Eurasian pig flu virus. The outbreak began in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, with evidence that there had been an ongoing epidemic for months before it was officially recognized as such. The rapid expansion of viral infection has imposed various attitudes and recommendations coming from the competent authorities in the field of public health, such as the World Health Organization.
