H1N1 is the name of a flu virus. The one people remember is the “swine flu” that went around the world in 2009 — though actually viruses with this same name have been around much longer, and pigs, birds, and people can all carry versions of it. Scientists name flu viruses by two proteins on the outside: H for hemagglutinin and N for neuraminidase. H1N1 means type 1 of each. In everyday talk, families often say swine flu and mean the 2009 outbreak; doctors and headlines more often say the letters. H1N1 is the virus; swine flu is the illness people talk about.

組成The strain is classified as hemagglutinin type 1 and neuraminidase type 1 — that is what the H1 and the N1 stand for.
