H1N1 / Swine Flu

H1N1 FluH1N1 Influenza is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness but low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans.  Human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in Kansas as well as four additional states and internationally. This situation is of high concern for public health officials because it is a novel virus – one that we have never seen in humans before – so it is unlikely that anyone has a natural immunity to it.

CDC has activated its emergency operations center to coordinate the agency’s emergency response. CDC’s goals are to reduce transmission and illness severity, and provide information to help health care providers, public health officials and the public address the challenges posed by this swine influenza virus. The CDC has also issued a travel warning recommending that people avoid non-essential travel to Mexico.

In addition the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has set up a Swine Flu website to help keep Kansas residents advised of the illness in Kansas.
