Abstract
Swine flu (swine influenza) is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza. This disease is transmitted between the persons through coughing or sneezing with the virus. Persons may also become infected by touching something, contaminated with flu virus and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. The most common clinical findings are fever, cough, sore throat, malaise, headache, vomiting and diarrhea have also been common, both of which are unusual features of seasonal influenza. In this paper, the transmission of Swine flu is studied through standard dynamical modeling method. The symptomatic and asymptomatic patients are considered with the different transmission rates. The analytical solutions of the model are obtained. The numerical simulations are shown to support the theoretical predictions. The basic reproductive number is produced for introducing the alternative way to decrease the disease outbreak.
