• The man route of transmission is through direct contact between infected and uninfected animals
• The close contacts are particularly common during animal transport

• As soon as the symptoms are detected, anti-viral drugs must be started immediately
• The US CDC(Centers For Disease Control And Prevention) recommends Ostelamivir (Tamiflu) And Zanamivir (Relenza) for the treatment & prevention of infection with Swine Flu Influenza Viruses. The virus outbreak in 2009 were found to be resistant to Amanatadine and Rimantadine
