Welcome to the Swine Flu resources web site sponsored by Brandeis Libraries &. Technology Services. These pages are designed to provide practical and timely information about the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.

Throughout the history of civilization, humanity has been ravaged by plagues and epidemics. Influenza of pandemic proportions is just one of the many communicable diseases worrying the world. International travel and global trade allow multiple oppportunities for disease organisms to spread.

The good news is that with our modern communications network, we have up-to-the-minute information about the disease threat. According to the World Health Organization, the Federal District of Mexico began picking up cases of Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) starting March 18, 2009. Major health organizations, including the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Massachusetts Department of Health & Human Services, maintain web sites devoted to influenza. Wikepedia created a page devoted to the 2009 swine flu outbreak.

The Health Center offers timely advice specific to the Brandeis Community
