An example of a shift occurred in the spring of 2009, when a new h1n1 virus with a new combination of genes from american pigs, eurasian pigs, birds and humans emerged in people and quickly spread, causing a pandemic. It results usually from the replacement of the hemagglutinin the viral attachment protein that also mediates the entry of the virus into the cell with a novel subtype that has not been present in human.

Genetic analysis of the 1918 flu revealed that it contained genetic material that was both avian and mammalian in origin. Much less frequent than antigenic drift occurring only in influenza a, it involves a profound change in the virus with a new hemagglutinin or neuraminidase type produced, possibly from another species.
