Explanation:
The HINI virus is mentioned in the news with reference to the disease known as swine flu. Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by the H1N1 influenza virus, which primarily affects pigs. However, the virus can also be transmitted to humans, leading to human cases of swine flu. It is characterized by symptoms similar to seasonal influenza, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. Swine flu can spread from person to person through respiratory droplets, similar to how seasonal influenza spreads.
