Answer: Influenza is a virus that's spread from person to person. It originates, actually, among birds and other animals such as pigs, and new viral strains of influenza come to this country and to Europe from Southeast Asia. That's the global pattern. But close to home, influenza is a virus that we have in our throats and we transmit to each other when we're in close contact and also when we get the virus on our hands and touch each other and touch our noses and our mouths and that way we can transmit the virus from one person to another.
The current Canine Influenza began as an avian (bird) virus that evolved into a strain that first started affecting dogs in Asia in 2007. It's unclear how the virus found it's way into the states, and specifically to the Chicago area, but by April 2015, well over a thousand dogs had contracted the virus.
