Swine Flu differs from Human Flu : 

5/4/2009 10 Swine Flu differs from Human Flu The H1N1 swine flu viruses are antigenically very different from human H1N1 virus and, therefore, vaccines for human seasonal flu would not provide protection from H1N1 swine flu viruses.

Out breaks amongst Pigs : 

5/4/2009 11 Out breaks amongst Pigs Outbreaks amongst pigs normally occur in colder whether months and sometimes with the introduction of new pigs into susceptible herds. Studies have shown the swine flu H1N1 is common throughout pig populations worldwide, with 25% of animals showing antibodies evidence of infections.
