A new type of swine flu has been detected in a United Kingdom human for the first time, the region’s Health Security Agency announced Monday.
Symptoms of influenza A(H1N2)v, clade 1b.1.1, were mild in the individual, who has fully recovered, health authorities said in a news release. Hundreds of documented cases of swine flu occur globally on an annual basis, each transmitted from a pig to a human, and typically no further.
