Pandemics? the three important criteria for a new pandemic influenza virus—ie, the ability to replicate in human beings and the absence of antibodies to the virus in the human population at large. The third criterium is the potential to rapidly spread from man to man.

Human influenza A receptor = SAα2,6-linked Avian influenza A receptor = SAα2,3-linked
Nasal mucosa Sinus Bronchus bronchiole Alveoli Avian SAα2,3-linked receptors = red Human SAα2,6-linked receptors = green
Avian SAα2,3-linked receptors = red Swine SAα2,6-linked receptors = green
Pigs are thought to have an important role in interspecies transmission of influenza, because they have receptors to both avian and human influenza virus strains.

Several students participating in the on-line survey (none of whom had confirmed S-OIV) reported travel to Mexico during the week before April 20; an undetermined number were symptomatic at the time of survey participation.
