H1N1 Flu is also known as swine flu. It's called swine flu because in the past, the people who caught it had direct contact with pigs. That changed several years ago, when a new virus emerged that spread among people who hadn't been near pigs. In 2009, H1N1 was spreading fast around the world, so the World Health Organization called it a pandemic. Since then, people have continued to get sick from swine flu, but not as many. H1n1 diagnosis is recommended on suspect cases of novel influenza A H1N1 (swine flu). Active infection with swine flu diagnosis influenza can only be confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, including sub-typing and further characterization by other special PCR assays. H1N1 flu virus is contagious. Person-to-person transmission of H1N1 flu virus occurs, and the virus is easily spread among people. It is believed that it is spread the same way as regular seasonal influenza. A person infected with H1N1 flu virus can infect others starting 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming ill.

With the grand success of Vaccines Asia Pacific 2015 conference, Conference Series LLC is organizing the “5th Annual Congress on Influenza, Respiratory Diseases & Infections: Vaccines and Therapeutics (IRDI Vaccines 2016)” will be scheduled during December 01-02, 2016 at Atlanta, USA. IRDI Vaccines 2016 bring together the Global leaders in Immunology and relevant fields to present their research at this exclusive scientific program. IRDI Vaccines 2016 Organizing Committee also invites Young investigators at every career stage to submit abstracts reporting their latest scientific findings in oral and poster sessions.
