Hayden (2009) suggest that with the study of swine flu‚ we can study these so called novel diseases‚ and prime the population for the disease with prepandemic immunization. Thus it is ideal to study swine flu as it is similar in structure to other influenza strains. This paper investigates the characteristics‚ prevention‚ and treatment of swine flu. While most organisms can be readily organized in the taxonomic system with roots in Carolus Linnaeus’ work‚ viruses like swine flu‚ sadly can not. Not

Hazards Biological hazards are hazards that are simply passed from one person to another. Viruses that are air born or passed on by touching infected items and the putting our hands in our mouth.

Many emerging viral diseases are caused by some variety of RNA viruses‚ which compared to DNA viruses‚ have a higher susceptibility to mutation. For example‚ influenza is caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae and known for strain mutation year after year‚ thus the need for reformulation of the vaccine for what will hopefully be the most common strains to infect people that particular season.
