Transmission of Swine Flu.

Transmission of the Swine flu among the Pigs:

Swine flu is communicable type. This virus gets transmitted from the infected pigs to non-infected pigs because they tend to be in a close contact during the time of transportation. This direct transfer occur due to the pigs rubbing against the each others nooses or it can also happen through the dried mucous. When the pigs sneeze and cough the aerosol are produced which leads to the airborne transmission of the Swine flu among the pigs. The airborne transmission is one of the common means of the infections. The pigs always remain in herds and thus they get affected with the virus within a time of few days. Wild Boar is one of the wild animals which leads to the transmission of the Swine flu from one farm to the other farm.

Transmission of Swine flu from Pig to Humans and among Humans:

When Swine flu gets transmitted to the humans from pigs it is called as Zoonotic Swine influenza. Usually this virus gets transmitted to those humans who are regularly in contact with the poultry and Swine. Thus the people working in close contact with the Swine and poultry pose great chances of contacting the Flu virus.

Transmission of this virus to humans does not lead to the influenza. If it results in influenza the spread of the influenza is mild as the count of the virus the human host tends to be low enough that it does not leads to an outbreak of the influenza.
