CDC Update On Recent Novel Swine Flu Cases

From Mike Coston at Avian Flu Diary, excerpt, please go to his site for the full story and links :

" Off and on for several years, and most recently over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen sporadic reports of novel swine flu infections in humans around the United States (separate and apart from the 2009 H1N1 virus).

The number detected since 2005 is very small; only 25.

But in recent weeks 4 cases resulting from a reassorted H3N2 swine virus (with a gene borrowed from the 2009 H1N1) have shown up in Indiana (1) and Pennsylvania (3) prompting an epidemiological investigation.
