The first genetic code of swine flu from European samples has been unravelled by UK researchers.
The Health Protection Agency has also announced it has now shared isolates of the UK virus with scientists working on a vaccine against the strain.
It will enable researchers to compare the virus affecting humans in Europe with that in Mexico and the US and look at the immune reaction it causes.
Researchers at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had already made genetic information on the swine flu virus publicly available to scientists around the world.
