Approximately 130 nanometers for average. Size varies by specific virus, however, and influenza viruses can range from 10 to 300 nanometers. The nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter.

They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. Most are "nano" size and too miniscule to be seen with a regular light microscope, so electron microscopes need to be used to visualize the virus particles.

What is the most effective way in determining whether someone has been infected with the H1N1 influenza virus?

Usually tests aren't required to diagnose the H1N1/09 influenza, doctors go on the symptoms and history of potential exposure, as well as whether there is a big presence of the disease in the community at the time. But there are tests for it. One that is more easily done in the field is a rapid test that, although easy to do and convenient, is less accurate than tests performed in the laboratory. See the related link to the CDC for information about the different tests. When swine flu is suspected in a patient, a quick test is typically done to determine whether Type A or type B influenza is present. If the test results reveal that the patient has type A influenza, they could be infected with either a conventional flu strain or swine flu. Swine flu is diagnosed by evaluating the patient's symptoms and knowing if the person has been in contact with people known to have the condition. A definitive swine flu diagnosis is made by sending a sample to a specialized lab.
