In March and April 2009, an [[outbreak]] of a new strain of [[influenza]] commonly referred to as [[swine flu]] infected many people in [[Mexico]] and parts of the [[United States]], causing severe illness in the former. The new strain was identified as a combination of several different strains of [[Influenzavirus A]], subtype [[H1N1]], including separate strains of this subtype circulating in humans (see [[Human influenza]]) and in pigs (see [[Swine influenza]]). |
