What is the New Influenza A (H1N1) (formerly Mexican flu)?

New Influenza A (H1N1) (formerly Mexican flu) is flu caused by a new fluvirus which is different from the already known human fluvirus. This virus contains parts of the pigs-, bird-, and human fluviruses. So, the New Influenza A (H1N1)does not directly come from pigs. The virus is capable to transmit from human to human.
