What's the naming convention of flu virus strains that led to the naming H1N1 flu virus?

The H is for Hemagglutinin, which is found on the surface of this particular strain. I believe it is a form of protein. The N is for Neuraminidase which is an enzyme also found on the outer surface of this strain.

I believe the 1 part is because it was the first varient found that had these identifying features.

Quote- " profvrr in reply to Cenon The name H1N1 is correct but not specific enough; it could refer to last season's H1N1, or the H1N1 of 1918. The proper naming convention is: A/location/isolate number/year (subtype). So for the current swine like strains, one example would be: A/California/04/2009 (H1N1)." -end of quote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
