Influenza A is a kind of influenza virus infection, because it is caused by influenza A (H1N1) virus, so this type of influenza is called influenza A (H1N1). Influenza is different from common respiratory tract infection. They are highly infectious and will present explosive infection in epidemic areas. Patients with influenza A and asymptomatic carriers are the source of infection, However, there is no evidence that animals can infect people. The reason why we used to call influenza a "swine flu" is not that it can be transmitted between people and pigs, but that this new type of a H1N1 virus is a new type of influenza virus after genetic recombination after it infects pigs.
